New equipment and dedicated technologists keep wait times down

“Thanks to Aberdeen Health Foundation we have 2 new ultrasound machines. It means that even with increasing demand for ultrasounds, we have been able to keep wait times down compared to other jurisdictions.
We are proud of the care and effort our technologists make to keep wait times down, and being able to work with the most up-to-date ultrasound imaging equipment supports their efforts.

Provincially, Diagnostic Imaging managers have developed a plan to identify equipment replacement needs for the province in order to keep all equipment up to standard. Unfortunately the high cost of equipment has made this a difficult strategy to adopt.
