Technology Brought to Life

 

Every day our skilled medical teams use the power of technology to heal patients and change lives. We were one of the first in the region to provide the latest technology in diagnostic imaging for a variety of health indications. From the 64-Slice CT to 3D digital mammography, San Antonio Regional Hospital delivers the latest in technological advances.


3D Transesophageal Echocardiograms

3D "Echo" technology is the latest generation in Echocardiograms, used by physicians for measuring heart function. 

3Tesla MRI

3T MRI technology has twice the magnetic strength of a standard 1.5T MRI, producing images with greater clarity than ever before.  Learn more...

64-Slice CT Heart Scan

64-slice CT technology can provide images so detailed, it creates a virtual "road map" of even the tiniest arteries in the heart. Learn more...

Angiography

Catheter angiography is a minimally invasive test that produces pictures of blood vessels. A thin plastic tube (catheter) is inserted into an artery through a small incision in the skin. Learn more...

da Vinci® Xi Robot

The da Vinci Xi Robotic System provides a minimally-invasive option for surgeries ranging from uterine fibroid tumor removal and endometriosis to pelvic organ prolapse, hysterectomies, many gynecological cancers and more. Learn more...

Diagnostic Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging, also called sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Learn more...

Digital Mammography

Digital mammography gives physicians a better chance of detecting early stages of breast cancer. Learn more...

ECMO

Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation is a unique machine which serves as the heart and lungs outside the body. Learn more...

Impella

Impella is the world's smallest left ventricular assist device (LVAD), used to support patients who are experiencing heart failure either before or after open heart surgery or cardiac catheterization. Learn more...

Omnicell

Omnicell allows the hospital pharmacy to securely store and track medications while reducing potential errors and improving the quality of care. Learn more...
 

PET-CT Scans

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a test that uses a special type of camera and a tracer (radioactive chemical) to look at organs in the body. Learn more...

Stereotactic Core Breast Biopsy

A stereotactic breast biopsy is a minimally-invasive procedure that uses stereo images (advanced images of the breast from different angles) to determine the precise coordinates of the abnormal tissue to be biopsied. Learn more...

Telemedicine

Telemedicine utilizes video conferencing technology, similar to communicating via a web camera. At San Antonio, neurologists, physicians with advanced training in the nervous system, use this “video conferencing” to evaluate and treat patients experiencing an acute stroke. Learn more...
