Hendrick Medical Center Brownwood (HMCB) is excited to announce the installation of new scanning technology that combines the latest advancements in MRI with the sophisticated engineering of a 1.5T wide bore system. The scanner provides a new level of patient comfort with adaptable coil designs and acceleration techniques that minimize scan times and improve image quality.

GE’s SIGNA™ Artist is an incredibly versatile and adaptable system. Built with patients in mind, the scanner is redefining the imaging experience with feet-first comfort options and scan capabilities that continue to push the conventional limits of MRI. Equipped with the SIGNA™Works productivity platform, SIGNA™ Artist dramatically improves clinical performance levels through innovative applications that visualize the body like never before.

Currently, we provide approximately 2,000 scans annually and look forward to increasing that number significantly due to the advanced technology.” said Krista Baty, MHA, BSN, RN FACHE, Chief Administrator Officer at Hendrick Medical Center Brownwood.
