I wrote a story about the
five-year anniversary of Peninsula Cancer Center for our Monday
paper.
One of the center’s medical neighbors in Poulsbo, InHealth Imaging, also celebrated a milestone recently.
The office introduced a
3Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine, which it says
is the first of its kind in the West Sound region.
The 3T MRI uses a more powerful magnet, and offers a wider opening for patients, faster exam times and higher resolution images, according to a news release.
InHealth also added a 64-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner, which uses lower levels of radiation and provides better images than older CT machines.
This system will allow us to have one of the widest ranges of imaging capabilities while being able to cater those services to patients in almost any situation,” InHealth founder Dr. Manfred Henne said in the release.
InHealth Imaging is a private outpatient practice located at 20700 NE Bond Road. It offers a wide spectrum of imaging services including 3D mammography.
