X-Ray Rooms (x2)
$1,150,000 | Replacement

An x-ray is a picture inside of a patient’s body, and shows things like broken
bones, pneumonia or tumours. The machine itself consists of an x-ray table,
an x-ray tube (the part that takes the picture) and a wall bucky, which
allows for x-rays to be taken when a patient is standing. At GBGH, x-ray
volumes have increased significantly over the past year (800+/month)

because similar services that were offered in the community are no longer
available.
GBGH currently has two x-ray rooms, but both are equipped with
technology that is 15 years old and can no longer be serviced. New x-ray
machines take better quality images, and they can do this faster, offering

a more thorough and efficient experience for patients and staff. The
equipment is motorized and adjusts easily – without strain on the staff – to
capture the best image for every size and shape of patient.

When the new equipment is purchased, the rooms will be renovated to
include new flooring (as the current tables are bolted to the floor), fresh
paint and updated lighting.
