WILTON — Saratoga Hospital announced last week the addition of the GE Healthcare Omni Legend PET/CT system to its medical imaging services at the Saratoga Hospital Wilton Medical Arts location at 3040 Route 50. According to the hospital, the system is the first of its kind in the region.

The Omni Legend enables healthcare professionals to detect and diagnose diseases at an earlier stage, leading to more effective treatment plans and improved outcomes for oncology, neurology, and cardiology.

Key features of the system include:

• High-resolution imaging for detailed anatomical and functional insights

• Faster scan times, reducing patient discomfort and wait times

• Enhanced image quality for more accurate diagnoses

• Higher accuracy in diagnosing cardiac disease before symptoms are present, with lower radiation exposure than traditional stress testing

• LED ambient lighting to help create a calming mood 

• A graphic pattern on the upper area of the bore to help alleviate stress and reduce movement for nervous patients
