Radiology Suite Renovation

In 2020, the Boone County Hospital Foundation raised funds to help renovate a Radiology suite to become fully digital at Boone County Hospital (BCH). Each year, BCH conducts at least 6,000 general x-ray exams. These include regularly scheduled appointments, Emergency Room patients, and Specialty Clinic's daily add-ons. Radiology is a baseline for finding more information about what the patient is experiencing and often assists with a diagnosis. 

Digital radiography is the gold standard because:

• There is lower radiation to the patient

• There is less time spent on the table in an exam

• There is less time spent in receiving results from the exam

"Digital radiography is fast, efficient, and low exposure." – Dr. Larson, Radiologist
