CT has become a very important investigation for numerous conditions, especially cancer and trauma. The number of people requiring CT Scans increases each year. A second CT Scanner will reduce the waiting time for patients in hospital and will therefore speed up their treatment.

The new CT Scanner will produce images of the inside of the body in just a few seconds. This is particularly useful for those who have difficulty lying still (the very young and elderly patients, or those in pain).

Medical technology has advanced enormously over the past ten years. The CT Scanner will provide new ways to diagnose diseases of the bowel, blood vessels, heart and lungs. Conditions previously investigated by invasive procedures or surgery.

 

 

Members of the public and the business sector are invited to donate to this appeal through collection boxes, organising events, raffles and other fund raising activities. The provision of a second CT Scanner at Worthing Hospital will benefit all of the
community in West Sussex.
