Providence Regional Medical Center – Everett – Second CT Scanner in the Emergency Department
Having the second CT scanner will ease the way of Imaging caregivers by giving them closer proximity to patients and will decrease the strain previously placed on the single scanner. The new scanner closely mirrors the other machines at PRMCE (one in the ED and three in the Imaging department), so the functions and exam capabilities are identical to other rooms.
