Date:8/28/2008

as. The Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS 128 slice CT scanner is installed in the TMC Hospital Hill Emergency Department just steps away from trauma rooms. The availability of accurate and rapid scanning of trauma patients makes its placement in the emergency department ideal for managing the needs of critically ill patients without having to move them from floor to floor for radiological imaging.

"With the speed, the small footprint of its design and the adaptive technology available this CT scanner will provide the most ideal imaging capabilities to deliver a rapid diagnosis and improve overall quality and efficiency of patient care," said Dr. Mark Steele, TMC Chief Medical Officer.

TMC expects to begin accepting patients and physician referrals for the SOMATOM Definition AS 128 slice CT Scanner as early as September 1.
