A new bi-plane imaging system has been installed to speed up stroke treatment. This equipment enables physicians to treat stroke patients more efficiently. The system is now in place at Valley Baptist Medical Center-Brownsville, where it is expected to improve chances of full recovery for patients.

Previously, patients in the Brownsville area had to be transferred to Valley Baptist-Harlingen, which has had the bi-plane imaging system for several years. This transfer could take about an hour, which is crucial time when treating strokes.

Further details about the new equipment and its benefits are available from the source.
