CRMC Becomes First Wyoming Hospital to Install Next-Generation Image Guided System

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center is now the first hospital in Wyoming to install a next generation minimally invasive image-guided system.

Allia Image-Guided System (IGS) Pulse, created by GE HealthCare, is designed to improve workflow for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in interventional cardiology. This system – which is being used in the Cheyenne Regional Cath Lab – provides exceptional image quality and optimized dose management regardless of patient size, which is particularly helpful in patients with a BMI of greater than 30.

The improved image quality is due to the first monopolar X-ray tube used to capture images – a powerful, yet quieter tube, which optimizes the operating environment during a procedure. This also helps clinicians reach steep angulation (an abnormal bend or angle) for a better understanding of the coronary artery anatomy.

Improved image quality is an important factor in treating complex cardiovascular diseases. Allia IGS Pulse has a reduced pulse width which decreases the blur in images, which can save the Cath Lab team time, because they don’t have to optimize the images themselves.

The Cath Lab team has worked hard to bring this system to Cheyenne Regional and is happy to see its installation come to fruition.

“I’m excited to see the hard work and thoughtful planning come to life in this new room. The increased square footage, innovative technology and amazing features will allow our team to provide exceptional cardiac care to our community!” said Kali Lenhart, Cheyenne Regional Cardiac Services Clinical Manager.

Allia IGS Pulse also incorporates MyIQ technology, which allows clinicians to view images in four different styles for an enhanced and tailored experience to suit each patient.
