Most advanced CT scanner improves accuracy of diagnosis, saves more lives
HAYWARD, Calif.
-- St. Rose Hospital, Hayward, has recently installed a new 320 Slice CT scanner, the only scanner of this capacity in the entire San Francisco Bay Area. It can scan a heart in a single heartbeat while administering just a fifth of the radiation dose of conventional scanners. While it takes an average of 7-10 rotations to image a human heart, this technology will allow radiologists to scan an entire organ with just one revolution, reducing the need for multiple scans and invasive procedures. This will enable physicians to treat at-need patients immediately, saving both resources and time.

HAYWARD, Calif.
-- South Hayward Parish, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the under-privileged communities within Hayward, reached a milestone; more than 250,000 were meals provided to low-income families and individuals in the last year.
