What is a CT Scanner? |
Dr. Barrie Phillips describes the
CT Scanner, for the layman, as
“"advanced x-ray and computer
combined." A CT Scanner shows

up the different densities of soft.

tissues. more-sensitively than ordi-
nary x-ray in a two-dimensional
picture. Dr. Phillips elaborates,
"Both the new nuclear medicine
department and the CT Scanner
will enhance the diagnostic capa-
bilities of Mills Memorial Hospital.
Each imaging modality has its own
place in diagnosis. There is some
overlap."

Dr. Phillips describes the CT
Scanner as very good for brain
diagnosis, in locating brain
tumours as small as_ five
millimetres; for locating damage
caused by a stroke, either clotting
or hemmorhage; for lesions of
multiple sclerosis; and for general
blood clots. It can detect tumours
and other lesions in the chest and
abscesses in abdomen or chest
(soft tissue pathology), brain or
spine (herniated discs or spinal
tumours). And, in many instances
it will reduce the need for explora-
tory surgery.

With the CT Scanner capability
in the Northwest, the number of
patients required to go to
Vancouver for diagnosis will be
much reduced. Dr. Phillips himself
now sends about 25 patients to
Vancouver for diagnosis. Then
they are often sent back here for
treatment. Dr. Phillips feels that
more doctors will be encouraged to

’ practise in the area with both

nuclear medicine and the CT scan-
ner available to them. People will
come to Terrace from throughout
the region to use.the medical faci-
lities at Mills Memorial. And, adds
Dr. Phillips, it will be good for the
facilities of the local hospital and
for our local business community
that we can re-route the transporta-
lion and medical dollars leaving
the area.
