Leading the Way with Technology

St. Louis, the 64-slice SPECT/CT scanner offers the latest in heart disease detection.
- Trilogy Linear Accelerator - Delivering the most advanced radiation treatments available, it allows for the treatment of very small lesions and tumors that are close to vital structures while avoiding or minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
- da Vinci Robotic-Assisted Surgical System - It improves complex, minimally invasive surgery, offering important patient benefits such as shorter hospital stays, less pain and lower risk of surgical site infection.
- Digital Mammography - The latest diagnostic technology for breast cancer, digital mammography is more sensitive than film mammography images and uses less radiation.
