St. Mary’s Medical Center Upgrades Biplane Imaging System for Interventional Neuroradiology Procedures

West Palm Beach, FL – St. Mary’s Medical Center, part of the Palm Beach Health Network, is adding the GE Innova IGS 630 Configuration Biplane Imaging System for interventional neuroradiology procedures. St. Mary’s Medical Center is the first hospital in Palm Beach County to have this new technology. This new innovative system allows doctors to see both 2D and 3D imaging solutions for the head, neck and spine.

“As a GE Neurointerventional national show site, St. Mary’s Medical Center has always been at the forefront of neuroscience care in this community. By having this new biplane room, it will provide the very best treatment for patients who need immediate neurologic care,” said Dr. Ali Malek, medical director of neurosciences at St. Mary’s Medical Center. “Whether it’s for an ischemic stroke, treating an aneurysm, or cerebrovascular disease, this technology creates higher quality images in real time so we can provide the appropriate care needed for our patients.”

Some of the benefits of the IGS 630 includes:

• High definition 3D imaging for neuro interventions
