Show 8 For Valley West Hospital WEST VALLEY. The State Department of Health has approved the use of mobile CT scanning services at Valley West hospital. State approval of the request for a certificate of need (the formal apmeans the proval designation) hospital may initiate scanning services next month. CT scanning procedures performed in the hospital will reduce the risks and costs associated with transferring patients to other said facilities for examinations, hospital spokesman John Wagner. It also reduces patient inconvenience and may eliminate the need for permanent transfer to another hospital, said Dr. D. Michael chairman of Valley Wests department of radiology. Previously, patients needing CT scanning had to be transferred to another hospital, Wagner noted. Basically, the CT scanner gives doctors a detailed, multidimensional look at the internal workings of the body. In many cases, X rays will do. But in brain tumors, abdominal disorders and others, a more detailed look is needed. The CT provides multiple images of specific parts of the body, Wagner explained. The patient is rolled through a rotating X ray machine. Its like going through the hole of a giant doughnut, he said. The machine takes views of the body from multiple angles. Those images are then fed Ed-so- Tomorrow In Baby Beauty Contest Set At Mall Tonight Hospital To Open GRANGER. Urgent Care Center KEARNS.

The proposal was submitted on behalf of the hospital by a private company, Dimedix, Inc. Because funding will be supplied by private investors, no capital expenditure will be required by the hospital to establish the system. Costs will be borne by only those patients using the service. Projected fees for the service are reasonable and competitive, Edson remarked. If the scanning system proves fruitful, Wagner said, an evaluation of hospital needs may justify acquisition of a CT unit for the new hospital currently under construc- reconstructed, giving physician a better picture of the potential problems, Wagner added. At one time, there was concern about the amount of radiation the patient was exposed to, Wagner said. But that has been alleviated, he added. Most scans require just 2.8 to 9.6 seconds. Hospital officials will house the scanning system in a large semitrailer which can move to different communities. Two technicians and s two will operate it, cross-section- Kearns Thursday, Feb.

An open letter to State Senator Verl Asay Im embarrassed that youre at it again with your cable television bills. If they pass, however, I have several suggestions for supporting legislation: you believe that schools dont need the protection of fire sprinklers, why dont we install the sprinklers in the homes of all cable TV subscribers with a movie channel? They can be programmed to turn on any time something too hot comes on the screen. think that painting beer trucks strange colors will serve a useful purpose. Instead, I suggest that a large scarlet letter - perhaps a C or R - be painted on all homes that might have the oppormovie or tunity to show an anything you deem indecent. -- Divert much of the new revenue from the increased beer tax for the sprinkler and scarlet letter programs because you obviously feel that the TV room is more dangerous than drunk drivers. -- Legislators who vote for the cable TV bills will have to personally pay for. the costly litigation which will follow state attempts to enforce these clearly unconstitutional measures. I resent having to foot the bill as a taxpayer. I wish you would spend your time on something more constructive and represent all of your constituents. I dont argue that some of the material on cable TV is trash. But if you believe as a state senator that parents have the responsibility of restraining their children in vehicles, why dont you give us the credit of being responsible enough to control the tube?
