McKenzie Invests in Latest Ultrasound Technology
Sandusky, MI – With the purchase of innovative ultrasound technology that will help with both diagnoses and treatment plans, McKenzie Health System is expanding its diagnostic procedures to offer more advanced care for patients. The innovative LOGIQ™ S8 premium ultrasound system, a small, lightweight and portable device from GE Healthcare, can also reduce the need for further testing, such as more costly CT and MR scans. Likewise, the GE Vivid E90 is the premium cardiovascular ultrasound system with outstanding image optimization and ergonomics.
Because of the size and portability afforded by these new systems, they can easily be rolled into a small exam room or next to a patient’s bedside for convenient and efficient ultrasounds. The LOGIQ S8 premium can also examine dense tissue on all body types and sizes and allow sonographers to quickly and seamlessly share scans with the medical team. More comfortable than many options, the system can reduce exam time, a welcome benefit for patients.
