UnityPoint Health – Finley Hospital Emergency Department’s new Computed Tomography (CT) scanner goes live this week. This new scanner combines intelligent imaging technology with a patient-centered design, offering enhanced comfort and improved image quality.

It automatically adjusts to each patient’s needs and allows technologists to interact more easily and effectively – supporting high-quality, exceptional patient care.

“We’re proud to offer our patients this high-quality imaging conveniently right here in Dubuque,” said Charlye Jenkins, imaging manager. “This scanner will allow us to continue to provide an exceptional patient experience while also equipping our care team with the latest tools for precision and efficiency during emergency situations.”

CT scanners use X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross sections of the body, showing bones, organs and soft tissues. When the different images are combined, it creates a 3-D image, allowing providers to see much more detail than a standard X-ray.
