Since CT’s inception in the 1970s, radiologists and medical providers alike have witnessed the technology’s great benefits, including reducing the length of hospitalizations, improving cancer diagnosis and treatment, and determining when surgeries are needed. In 2021, the technology is being leveraged as part of the standard of care process for another important use case diagnosing COVID-19.
“As hospitals saw and continue to see an influx of COVID-19 patients, many are looking for ways to rapidly expand their radiology imaging capabilities,” says Rick Banner, senior director of marketing, modality solutions for Fujifilm Medical Systems USA. “Studies show that CT systems are helping to boost imaging capabilities at COVID-19 surge hospitals, as well as predict the severity of COVID-19 disease and patient outcomes.”
