portable, digital X-Ray machine

In the early winter of 2018, with charitable donations from our loyal supports, IVCHF purchased a state-of-the-art, portable, digital X-Ray machine for the Diagnostic Imaging department at the hospital. Foundation funds also paid for the digital retrofit upgrade of the X-Ray suite.

The portable unit takes digital images from the bedside of the patient, which means that patients do not have to be moved to take an X-Ray and physicians receive the digital diagnostic images images much faster. The modernization of equipment also results in a 20% reduction in radiation exposure. The cost of the new equipment and retrofit kit, generously donated by community members amounted to $253,000.
