Juravinski Hospital Poppy Fund Equipment Photographs
On Monday, 20th May Dundas Branch 36 representatives were invited to the Juravinski Hospital Cancer Center to view equipment that was purchased using Dundas Poppy Fund contributions of $15,000 made to the hospital.
The Poppy Fund contribution was used to help in the purchase and operation of new equipment for the Juravinski Cancer Center.
The nuclear medicine SPECT/CT camera combines two leading imaging technologies - SPECT and CT - to detect abnormalities and diagnose the patient. As part of a SPECT/CT suite, this "smart" technology offers low patient radiation dose levels of up to 50% less than other scans, is more efficient, increases patient comfort and improves the patient experience (imaging times are significantly decreased), and helps clinicians gauge a patient's progress more accurately, improving their treatment.
At a cost of $900,000, the new SPECT/CT camera provides state-of-the-art diagnostic capability. The software to operate this new equipment cost an additional $100,000.
