Backus Hospital has acquired a 64-slice Computerized Tomography (CT) scanner. The scanner, designed by Philips, can produce up to 2,500 detailed images of the human body in a matter of seconds, allowing radiologists to diagnose patients faster and more accurately.

The Colchester Backus Health Center has added digital mammography, bone density screenings, and additional MRI hours the first week in May.
