EAGLE RIVER, Wis. – Aspirus Eagle River Hospital has enhanced its medical imaging capabilities with the installation of a new, state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) scanner, improving both diagnostic precision and patient experience for the Northwoods community.
CT is an advanced imaging procedure that uses X-rays to create detailed, three-dimensional images of the body. These scans help physicians diagnose conditions, evaluate injuries, and guide treatment plans with greater accuracy.
The hospital’s newly installed SOMATOM X.ceed CT scanner from Siemens Healthineers introduces cutting-edge technology designed to support faster, more precise imaging while prioritizing patient comfort and safety.
One of the most significant benefits of the new system is its ability to enhance the hospital’s stroke care capabilities. With advanced perfusion imaging software, providers can detect strokes more quickly and accurately—helping ensure patients receive timely, potentially life-saving treatment.
“This technology allows us to deliver faster, more accurate answers for our patients when it matters most,” said Jenifer Adamovich, Supervisor, AERH Imaging Services. “In stroke situations, every second counts. Having advanced perfusion imaging right here in Eagle River means our patients can receive critical care close to home, without delay.
The system also reduces radiation exposure by up to 30%, reflecting Aspirus’ commitment to patient safety while maintaining exceptional image quality.
“We’re always looking for ways to make the experience better for our patients—not just clinically, but personally,” Adamovich added. “This new CT scanner allows us to combine leading-edge technology with a more comfortable, reassuring environment, so patients feel cared for every step of the way.”
Designed with both patients and care teams in mind, the system streamlines workflows and supports technologists in delivering consistent, high-quality imaging for a wide range of conditions.
With this investment, Aspirus Eagle River Hospital continues its commitment to providing advanced, compassionate care to the communities it serves—ensuring patients have access to leading diagnostic services close to home.
