New X-Ray Technology Bring Better, Faster Care to the Ajax Pickering Hospital

There’s exciting news for Durham Region residents – Ajax Pickering Hospital has a brand-new piece of equipment that’s changing the game when it comes to patient care. 

Say hello to the new fluoroscopy machine! This special type of X-ray allows health-care professionals to see inside your body in real time. Think of it like watching a live video of what’s going on inside. For example, they can watch how food moves through your digestive system, assess your ability to swallow after a stroke, or safely guide medical tubes where they need to go.

The new machine produces much clearer images, helping physicians make quicker, more accurate decisions. And because it's more dependable, there are fewer delays and shorter wait times for patients.

“This upgrade means we can help more patients more efficiently,” says Kyle Hiemstra, the manager of Diagnostic Imaging at Lakeridge Health.

The new fluoroscopy machine at the Ajax Pickering Hospital complements the existing equipment at the Oshawa Hospital, expanding access to advanced imaging services across Durham Region. That means more people can get the care they need, closer to home and faster than ever.

As Durham Region continues to grow, the demand for health care is rising. Lakeridge Health is meeting that need by investing in modern technology and expanding services to ensure you can live your best health right here in the community.

Because Lakeridge Health is more than just a hospital, it’s a connected health-care system dedicated to delivering high-quality, personalized care to every person we serve.

So, if you or someone you love needs medical imaging or tests, you can feel confident knowing Ajax Pickering Hospital is now even better equipped to take great care of you, right in your own backyard.
