It’s no secret that patients’ lives
often depend on the results of diagnostic imaging. That’s
why the opening of the new Alta Bates Summit Imaging Center — and
the distinct advantages of its superior technology — is
such exciting news across the East Bay.
The center offers the latest imaging equipment, including
direct X-ray equipment, fluoroscopy, ultrasound and the only
64-slice CT scanner in the area. All records are stored electronically,
allowing both radiologists and referring physicians to review
them from their offices or off-site. “Patients benefit
from the high level of efficiency and accuracy,” says
Bill Tracy, assistant director of outpatient imaging. “And
the ease with which physicians can access patient information
provides for optimum delivery of care.”
“This new center provides the community with a
remarkable resource that combines state-of-the-art technology
with caring, compassionate staff and expert physicians,” adds
Linda Gordon, M.D., director of imaging at the Summit Campus. “Not
only are comfort and convenience maximized, but the
advanced equipment allows us to evaluate patients accurately
and provide rapid reports to their referring physicians.”
The imaging center’s
decor was selected with a healing atmosphere and privacy
in mind, helping patients feel at ease as they wait for services
provided by skilled board-certified radiologists. Patients
can also avoid the stress of searching for parking by using
the center’s convenient valet
parking service. For more information, contact the Alta Bates
