The best technology can make a difference in providing the most accurate diagnosis and treatment. <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Sinai</strong><br />
received two of the most advanced medical imaging systems this year: 64-slice Computerized Tomography (CT)<br />
scanners. CT technologists like Kathy Lott can now produce scans of the head in under 30 seconds — a process that,<br />
in the 1980s, took 15 minutes. Reduced wait times for patients and quicker diagnosis add up to better patient care.<br />
Third-year Medical students Elinor<br />
Lu-Olaco and Sayed Ali practice<br />
making casts at the University of<br />
Toronto Surgical Skills Centre at <strong>Mount</strong><br />
<strong>Sinai</strong>. Some 4,000 medical students,<br />
residents, and surgeons from across<br />
North America come to the Centre to<br />
learn each year.<br />
Making the right diagnosis quickly is<br />
crucial. Doctors in Medical Imaging can<br />
now view images taken moments before<br />
on-screen anywhere in the hospital. It’s<br />
an example of the way our teams work<br />
together to provide the very best care,<br />
efficiently and accurately.<br />
