Advanced Technology

Equipped with multifunctional CT scanners, Ridgeview offers highly advanced three-dimensional reconstructions of body organs and major blood vessels.

Ridgeview has two CT scanners at its Waconia Campus. One supports interventional procedures with on-demand live 3D imaging to assist radiologists in biopsy guidance. The second scanner is equipped with software for cardiac CT. Both scanners have specially designed software that reduces patient dose by 30% or more, dependent on the area scanned. Ridgeview is a participant in Image Wisely, with a focus on radiation safety in medical imaging and also accredited by the American College of Radiology.

Advanced technology directly benefits patients and families through shorter scan times, higher-quality scans and quick turn-around on reports.
