The Orthopedic Hospital (TOH) is up and running with their newest MRI technology service at their surgery center, solidifying its position as a one-stop destination for all orthopedic and spine care, according to a news release from Lutheran Health Network.
TOH has invested in a platform that has the most up-to-date software packages in the area, offering the latest in motion correction technology, which leads to cleaner and faster imaging for patients, the release states.
“We are excited to announce the expansion of our presence in the Warsaw community, with additional convenient locations for MR services and a comprehensive campus dedicated to orthopedic and spine care,” said Amy Hochstetler, chief administrative officer of The Orthopedic Hospital.
The new scanner has a large bore size of 70 cm, which is helpful for those concerned about tight spaces. It can also accommodate patients up to 450 pounds. This scanner also has the most advanced software for “metallic artifact reduction,” which gives the patients with implanted orthopedic metal the cleanest looking image.
The advancements lead The Orthopedic Hospital’s ability to deliver expert orthopedic and spine care, from diagnosis through treatment and recovery. Noise cancelling headphones are offered to patients with internet radio to enhance comfort and patient experience.
“This is an investment within Lutheran Health Network to expand access to care for our community. MRI is an important service we continue to provide at Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital and with the addition of the newest MRI at The Orthopedic Hospital, our community will have more access to high quality care close to home,” said Chad Towner, chief executive officer at Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital.
