The state-of-the-art Philips Spectral CT 7500 is now open and available to patients at the newly named Wanda & Jim Moran, Jr. Emergency Department (ED). A transformational $6.5 million gift from philanthropists Wanda and Jim Moran, Jr. and the Wanda & Jim Moran Foundation enabled Holy Cross Health to make advancements to the ED and to purchase this CT scanner.
This generous contribution significantly elevates the hospital’s diagnostic capabilities and ability to better serve the community with enhanced emergency care. In recognition of one of the single largest donations in the hospital’s 70-year history, the ED was officially named in their honor during a celebration.
This CT scanner enables practitioners to provide faster, more accurate assessments and interventions for patients experiencing emergencies such as stroke, acute cardiac and vascular conditions, spinal cord injuries, internal bleeding and complex bone fractures. The machine, which takes only two seconds to scan the chest, abdomen and pelvis, has a large bore and height-adjustable table to provide comfort for patients, while providing high-quality, low dose and low contrast images for physicians to review. The clear, accurate images help practitioners make life-saving decisions faster.
