How 64-slice CT saved my life: A radiologist's story
Buying a major piece of imaging equipment is always a big moment for a radiologist. So Dr. Benjamin Roach was truly excited when his facility, Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital in Ashland, KY, decided to purchase a new CT scanner. For the purchase of a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art 64-slice scanner, the excitement was palpable: "Think of the lives we'll save," he thought. Little did he know that one of the first lives saved would be his own.
