UHS Delaware Valley Hospital holds CT Ribbon Cutting and Open House

UHS Delaware Valley Hospital (DVH) celebrated the installation of a state-of-the-art CT scanning machine with an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, July 31.

The new machine, the GE Revolution Apex Platform, delivers clearer images, faster results and greater accessibility for patients in Delaware County and surrounding areas.

Addressing a crowd of UHS staff, local dignitaries, and the community, UHS-DVH President & CEO Rolland “Boomer” Bojo explained, “Our goal is always to improve patient experience and outcomes – and this technology helps us do both.”

The new CT scanner boasts several advanced features designed to improve patient outcomes and efficiency. It features artificial intelligence-enhanced imaging and a 675-pound weight capacity, allowing for more inclusive care. The new system also helps technologists spend more time with patients by streamlining preparation and processing.

The machine is also a step forward in ongoing efforts to serve the region with comprehensive, top-tier care. Previously, certain specialized scans—such as cardiac CT and brain perfusion studies—required patients to travel to other UHS hospital facilities to have the tests completed. With this upgrade, UHS-DVH can now offer these advanced diagnostics in-house, helping to keep care local.

Megan Heaphy, Director of Ambulatory, Emergency Services, Imaging, Walk-in and Security at UHS-DVH, explained, “We want our patients to feel confident they can get the advanced services they need without leaving their community – and this addition further strengthens that commitment.”
