Marian Regional Medical Center is committed to offering state-of-the-art technology to provide you with the best possible care. Our community members don’t have to travel to other cities to find the latest in diagnostic and surgical equipment , it is right here at Marian. These technologies not only enhance image quality and accuracy, but in many cases, they reduce examination times and even improve patient safety and comfort. Some of the technologies include:
Da Vinci Robotic Surgery System
This state-of-the-art robotics technology offers surgeons superior visualization, enhanced dexterity and unparalleled precision compared to traditional approaches. This means that surgeons are able to perform complex procedures using a minimally invasive approach resulting in less pain, smaller scars and shorter recovery times for patients.
GreenLight Laser
GreenLight Laser Therapy uses a laser to remove enlarged prostate tissue. The benefits of GreenLight over the traditional surgical treatment is fewer side effects, it’s less invasive and has a shorter recovery time.
Stealth Surgical System
The Stealth System is computer-guided surgical navigation system using 3-D imaging and sophisticated instruments to perform complicated neurosurgeries for back and spine. Use of Stealth technology results in smaller incisions, greater accuracy, reduced surgery time and faster recovery.
128-Slice CT Scanner
Marian’s Plaza Diagnostic Imaging Center features GE’s state-of-the-art, 128-slice LightSpeed low–dose CT Scanner and enhanced MRI technology. • ASiR™ low dose technology—cuts radiation exposure by 50 percent, which means peace of mind and safety for you. • Greater accuracy and better diagnostic capability for your doctor.
Incision-less GERD Procedure
The new incision-less procedure, using the innovative EsophyX® device, is the latest treatment for safely and effectively treating chronic Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease which is also commonly referred to as GERD.
PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System)
PACS is a digital imaging system, a device that captures images without the use of film that can store, display and transmit all types of digital medical images including CT, MRI and ultrasound. It allows physicians to view medical images by use of desktop computer, giving them quick access to images, reducing film costs and decreasing the amount of film storage space needed.
Digital Mammography
Mammography is low-dose x-ray procedure, and the most reliable method available for the detection of breast cancer. Marian has two digital mammography machines that take clearer, faster images with less radiation than a tradition film mammogram. This equipment is coupled with the sophisticated screening tool called Second Look, a computer-aided detection (CAD) technology that provides a computerized second review of mammograms and can highlight potential areas of concern.
Stereotactic Biopsy System
This stereotactic equipment provides non-surgical detection of breast disease. It is highly accurate and a significant advance in the ease and accuracy of diagnosing breast disorders.
