The new device, which was installed in early April, offers a wider table and a 76 percent increase in field-of-view volume, which provides clinicians with a more complete picture of the heart’s anatomy and pathology through its nine camera heads.

“We have worked strategically to stay on the cutting edge of technology and practices and have implemented four major pieces of equipment in the last year,” said Jim Matney, president and CEO of Colquitt Regional. “To be the first hospital in the state of Georgia to introduce the MyoSPECT is a great accomplishment for our team and a huge win for our patients. This further displays our commitment to bringing top-of-the-line, modern healthcare machinery right to our patients’ backyards.” 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
