BCHS has in place a 64 slice CT scan machine from GE Healthcare (Revolution Evo) which is a high-end CT scanner that delivers economic benefits without compromising on patient care with the following features:

BCHS is one of the few diagnostic centres that have a dedicated fluoroscopy machine for investigations.
Fluoroscopy is used in a wide variety of examinations and procedures to diagnose or treat patients. Some examples are:
Early detection provides the best chance to treat breast cancer successfully. With the use of digital technology, screening mammograms can now be performed within 10 to 15 minutes. Images are obtained and stored electronically, thereby allowing them to be viewed at either location. The use of electronic storage system eliminates loss of images/films.
