NIX HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IMPROVES PATIENT CARE WITH NEW MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEM
SAN ANTONIO, TX – (November 13, 2009) The NIX Health Care System recently announced the addition of one of the industry’s most compact whole-body high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, the Intera Achieva from Philips Medical Systems. Designed with both patient and physician in mind, the system enhances patient comfort while improving the image quality and clinical performance.
“The Intera Achieva MRI system incorporates some of the latest technology and provides exceptional image quality in the most patient-friendly environment. It is a tremendous diagnostic benefit to the community,” said John F. Strieby, CEO and Chairman of the Board for the NIX Health Care System.
By combining high-field features with a design philosophy dedicated to patient comfort, the Intera system delivers new levels of operational productivity and better accommodates the needs of all patients.
Because of the level of detail it provides, MRI assists radiologists and physicians in the earlier diagnosis of a variety of medical conditions including brain and nervous system disorders, cardiovascular disease, cancer and organ disease. Not only can earlier diagnosis lead to better treatment and better outcomes, it can help reduce overall healthcare costs. MRI brings together the most sophisticated thinking in medicine, science and electronic technology.
