ANGIER, N.C. – The Carolina Regional Radiology (CRR) Imaging Center in Angier recently installed new X-ray equipment and a Konica Minolta Xpress CR (computed radiology) system. With this new equipment, X-rays now join the digital process used for CT scans, MRIs and other tests (excluding mammograms) performed at CRR in Angier.
The Xpress CR system generates super high resolution images that appear in just 40 seconds, thus decreasing the amount of time a patient must spend to undergo testing. Radiologists can manipulate images on a high-resolution monitor for faster interpretation and comparison. What’s more, X-ray images no longer have to be stored on “hard copy” film. Test result images are stored in the PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), which allows images to be easily recalled for comparison with subsequent tests performed.
For patients, CRR’s new digital capabilities in Angier mean they no longer have to pick up and return bulky films needed for follow-up appointments with their physician. Images can be output on disk, and multiple copies can be made. For facilities that are inter-connected with CRR, images can be transmitted electronically.
One of the largest radiology groups in southeastern North Carolina, Carolina Regional Radiology has facilities in Angier (Imaging Center) and Fayetteville (Administrative Offices and Interventional Clinic). The Imaging Center in Angier offers CT, MRI, Digital X-Ray, Mammography, Ultrasound, Bone Density and Fluoroscopy testing. With more than 20 board certified radiologists, many with subspecialty training, CRR provides diagnostic and interventional radiology services for hospitals, imaging centers, clinics and other facilities throughout a ten-county region.
