More Information

MRI

MRI is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces three dimensional detailed anatomical images. It is often used for disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring. It is based on sophisticated technology that excites and detects the change in the direction of the rotational axis of protons found in the water that makes up living tissues.

CT Scanner

A computerized tomography scan, also called a CT scan, is a type of imaging that uses X-ray techniques to create detailed images of the body. It then uses a computer to create cross-sectional images, also called slices, of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside the body. CT scan images show more detail than plain X-rays do.  A CT scanner has many uses.  it's used to diagnose disease or injury as well as to plan medical, surgical or radiation treatment.

Glidescope

Intubation can be difficult for many reasons and a Glidescope provides an electronic visual of the patient’s airway, which is a better view than that of a direct laryngoscope.

Ultrasound Machine for Echocardiography

Since 2017, a team of four General and Subspecialty Cardiologists, with expertise in Electrophysiology, Interventional Cardiology and Heart Failure, have been conducting clinics on a weekly basis in Kincardine making the site a referral centre for cardiology and echocardiography.

Picture Archive Communication System (PACS) 

PACS is a medical imaging technology used by healthcare organizations to securely store, transmit, and share electronic images and reports. PACS is a critical tool for patient care, used locally and abroad to make informed patient treatment decisions.  Using PACS, physicians and specialists from other hospital sites are able to instantly access images (x-Ray’s, CT scans, ultrasounds, etc.) from any of SBGHC’s hospital sites in Chesley, Durham, Kincardine and Walkerton. A regional PACS system is significant when patients travel to other hospitals for healthcare, as access to prior imaging is readily available. 

Ultrasound Machine

Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. It is used to help diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infection in the body's internal organs and to examine a baby in pregnant women and the brain and hips in infants. It's also used to help guide biopsies, diagnose heart conditions, and assess damage after a heart attack. Ultrasound is safe, noninvasive, and does not use ionizing radiation.

ECG Machine

Records the electrical signals in the heart. Test results can help diagnose heart attacks and irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias. ECG machines can be found in medical offices, hospitals, operating rooms and ambulances.

Ultrasound Machine

An ultrasound machine makes images so that organs inside the body can be examined. The machine sends out high-frequency sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives the waves and uses them to create a picture

Hematology Analyser

Hematology analyzers are used to conduct a complete blood count (CBC), which is usually the first test requested by physicians to determine a patient's general health status. A complete blood count includes red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin, and platelet counts, as well as hematocrit levels.

ER Slit Lamp

A slit lamp exam can help diagnose the following conditions: macular degeneration, a chronic condition affecting the part of the eye that is responsible for central vision. detached retina, a condition when the retina, which is an important layer of tissue at the back of the eye, becomes detached from its base.
