Advanced imaging
48X is equipped with a comprehensive suite of imaging technologies to enhance clinical accuracy, streamline workflows and improve patient outcomes across a broad spectrum of specialties.
One prominent feature is a new Siemens NAEOTOM Alpha scanner, a state-of-the-art photon counting CT technology only recently introduced into radiology departments around the world. The new tech makes more efficient use of scan information, resulting in lower radiation dose while maintaining or improving image quality. Some other highlights will include:
- A Siemens IR Artis Icono Bi-Plane system, designed specifically for complex interventional procedures and with capability to visualize anatomy from multiple angles simultaneously.
- A GE Revolution Ascend CT scanner, a high-performance AI-powered system that delivers rapid scan times with lower radiation doses.
- A Philips CombiDiagnost R90, engineered to support high-volume imaging demands.
- An MRI suite purposefully designed to support the future state of minimally invasive, image-guided therapies, with a particular focus on emerging laser-guided procedures and real-time intraoperative guidance.
Future-ready surgical suites
With more than 15,000 new medical devices, 48X represents one of the most significant technological deployments in UC Davis Health’s history. The facility introduces future-ready surgical suites and establishes a new campus standard that connects critical UC Davis Health sites.
- Standardization around Steris equipment establishes seamless connectivity between UC Davis Health’s growing network of surgical environments, allowing for integrated workflows, shared training protocols and enhanced support for leading-edge procedures.
- Every surgical room is designed with robotic surgery readiness in mind, enabling immediate deployment of robotic-assisted systems and technologies.
