Crisp Regional Hospital is proud to announce the installation and launch of its brand-new SIGNA™ Artist EVO MRI system, which officially began scanning patients today. This cutting-edge imaging technology represents a significant leap forward in diagnostic capability, patient comfort, and efficiency.

The SIGNA™ Artist EVO delivers faster, more detailed scans while creating a more comfortable experience for patients. With reduced scan times—typically 30-50% faster than before— patients spend significantly less time in the machine, and the hospital can accommodate more patients each day.

“This upgrade reflects our continued commitment to providing the highest level of care for our community,” said Steven Gautney, President & CEO. “We’re now able to offer faster, more accurate imaging with a more comfortable experience for our patients.”

Key benefits of the new MRI system include:

• Reduced Scan Times: 30–50% faster, which means less time in the machine for patients and more efficient scheduling.
• Larger Bore Size: The tube is 17% larger than the previous unit, making it easier for patients to relax during the scan.
• Feet-First Capability for All Exams: Ideal for patients with claustrophobia or anxiety during imaging procedures.
• Expanded Exam Offerings: A wider range of diagnostic capabilities, supporting more complex imaging needs.
• High-Resolution Imaging: Sharper, clearer images for more precise diagnoses.

The new MRI system is now fully operational and appointments are available. Crisp Regional is proud to continue investing in the health and well-being of the region by providing state-of-the-art technology and exceptional patient care close to home.
