More information
The images from your procedure will need to be maintained at the Hospital. You are able to borrow them
for appointments with your doctor, but the films must be returned to the Hospital. This is because, in public hospitals, the images must remain on file for the
legally required period. You can request copies of the images. A nominal fee may be required to cover this cost.
New 64 slice Scanner for Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital
In September 2008 our Medical Imaging Department took delivery of a new $900,000 64-slice CT scanner that will benefit both staff and patients. The new scanner
creates high resolution, detailed images very quickly and means clinicians can make faster diagnosis and begin appropriate treatment immediately. According to
Chief Radiographer, Anna Maria Abeska speed and accuracy are its most important features. “The new scanner will allow much faster scan times. Within minutes,
we can quickly diagnose and treat serious conditions,” said Anna. Combined with its state of the art features, the new scanner will create a more pleasant and more
comfortable experience for patients, particularly for trauma patients, the elderly and children who may have difficulty in remaining still. The new 64-slice scanner is a
significant improvement on the previous single-slice scanner and means Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital is now on par with other major teaching hospitals with medical
organ imaging and diagnosis.
