The suite features advanced technology including sharper image quality and a low dose radiation exposure to patients and staff.

"Our new cardiac catheterization lab will provide physicians access to innovative software and will help us deliver the highest quality care to treat patients with cardiovascular disease," says Gregory Robertson, MD, chief of cardiology at Emory Heart and Vascular Center in Johns Creek, and associate professor of medicine, Emory University School of Medicine.

The new lab is one of two at EJCH and showcases the latest cardiovascular technology including Phillips Allura Xper FD20 digital imaging x-ray system. The system’s resolution is four times greater than traditional x-ray’s, providing physicians better visualization when performing procedures.

"The advanced technology allows physicians to better diagnose blockages and place stents," says Diego Sigala, RN, director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab. "The image guided therapy helps doctors see more clearly when they are inserting stents into the arteries and shortens the procedure time."
