| Hospital eyes long distance CT service THE NEW CT scan diagnostic service at Mills Memorial Hospi- tal could soon develop that long distance feeling. Now being investigated are the costs and equipment needed to connect the $600,000 device here “with specialists at Richmond General Hospital. The result, says Mills official Michael: Leisinger, is the ability to provide full scale services even if there isn’t a radiologist on site at Mills. Technicians here will do the . scan and then transmit the images to Richmond. “Basically what it is is our black box ‘conneciéd to their black box,” said Leisinger. Doing the connecting will be a dedicated phone line able to ‘deliver the kind of quality “needed. ' . Richmond was chosen ‘because. of the expertise it offers and be- ‘cause it is the home base for a group of radiologists now per- ‘forming tadiology services here until a permanent one is found. “They’ll be here until January, Michael Leisinger for as long as we need them,” said Leisinger. Those armngements with. the Richmond radiologists call for one of them to be present at Mills for three days a week. That’s the same number of days ~ a radiologist was present in Mills before, Leisinger noted. There’s no money specifically designated for the long distance equipment and service, but Leisinger said it will be found someplace within the hospital’s budget. He added that the concept of long distance radiology could ¢x- tend to hospitals in Smithers and Prince Rupert. ; ‘We have agreed to the con- cept of radiology reciprocal privileges, ” said Leisinger in cautioning that those hospitals would have to pay for their share of what’s need for long distance Services. kkk kk In the meantime, Mills con- tinues its scarch for @ permanent radiologist. One candidate, from South Af- rica, is now nearly finished a six- month stint. in England, said Leisinger. And Mills is pursuing several Canadian prospects. ‘The hospital eventually wants to have two radiologists on staff.
