Celebrating Passionate Pink Day 2009
On October 21st 2009 the department
celebrated Passionate Pink Day to raise funds for the
Susan Komen foundation. The
staff made donations to wear pink to work for the day, almost everyone
participated.
Nancy G. Brinker promised her
dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power
to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became
Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer
movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots
network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives,
empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find
the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have
invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest
source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer
in the world. If you would like to participate, then visit the website

OVMC and EORH TO INSTALL NEW CT IMAGING UNITS
OVMC and EORH will
acquire two new, state of the art, CT imaging systems from GEHealthcare. The
LightSpeed VCT is the worlds first Volume Computed Tomography (VCT) system.
With it, OVMC and EORH bring a new era in imaging to the Ohio Valley by
offering this innovative way for doctors to obtain the information they need
to diagnose cardiovascular decease.
Now physicians are able to capture images of the
beating heart in just five heartbeats, something no other CT system can
offer. The new Volume CT system allows physicians to perform new
enhanced procedures such as CT angiography and obtain the information they
need to diagnose patients who are suffering from chest pain.
Physicians at OVMC and EORH will have a new tool to help them diagnose
cardiovascular disease for their cardiac patients.
Because the LightSpeed VCT's unique capabilities, new and
enhanced medical CT procedures included:
-
5-Beat Cardiac™ - The physicians at OVMC and
EORH can capture images of the whole heart and coronary arteries in
just five heartbeats - provide clearer images of cardiovascular
anatomy and shorter breath-hold for sick and elderly patients.
-
Triple RuleOut™ - Three primary causes of mortality in patients with
chest pain are aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism and coronary
disease. The physicians at OVMC and EORH now have a tool to
help them rule out (or in) the individual causes of the patient's
chest pain through a single fast scan.
-
Stroke Work-Up - Once a stroke occurs, it is commonly believed that
the treatment must be delivered within hour or less to ensure the
best outcome for the patient. The LightSpeed VCT offer OVMC
and EORH the speed and resolution required for rapid imaging of
blood vessels in the brain. This enables physicians to make a
quick diagnosis of stroke and determine the extent of damage, making
this complex procedure easier and more routine for the physician.
In a single rotation, the Volume CT system creates 64
high-resolution anatomical images as thin as a credit card.
These images are combined to form a three-dimensional view of the
patients anatomy for the physicians at OVMC and EORH to analyze.
From these images, physicians can view such things as blockages in
the coronary arteries, as well as the motion and pumping action of
the patients heart.
Our hospitals are breaking barriers in speed and
accuracy of patient exams and are now able to offer new and enhanced
diagnostic procedures thanks to our new LightSpeed VCT. The
technology will greatly benefit both our physicians and patients.
