If you haven’t needed an x-ray lately you may not have noticed one of Billings Clinic Broadwater’s latest upgrades – a completely revamped x-ray suite.

Thanks to the generous support of the Broadwater County Health Foundation, Billings Clinic Broadwater purchased a new fully digital CareStream x-ray system and remodeled its existing radiology room to create a modern space that improves the patient experience.

This cutting-edge X-ray system makes taking images faster, especially helpful in critical cases where time is of the essence. With this new X-ray suite, images can be sent to the radiologists within minutes. It uses digital sensors to capture high-resolution images that allow for immediate acquisition, display, and manipulation of the images. The result is improved image quality, which helps radiologists to make more accurate diagnoses and enhances the overall quality of patient care.

The digital sensors used in this system are highly sensitive and require lower radiation doses compared to traditional X-rays. This reduction in radiation exposure is beneficial to patients, as it minimizes potential risks associated with repeated or prolonged exposure, particularly for pediatric and elderly populations.

Bringing this new technology to Billings Clinic Broadwater is a major advancement in diagnostic imaging technology for patients in Broadwater County and beyond, and demonstrates Billings Clinic Broadwater’s commitment to delivering high-quality health care to our patients and community.

Thank you again to the Broadwater County Health Foundation for its incredible support in bringing this technology to Townsend.
