Tift Regional Medical Center introduces new nuclear imaging technology<\/h2>\n

Published 1:19 pm Wednesday, April 29, 2026<\/p>\n

TIFTON \u2014 \u00a0As part of Southwell\u2019s commitment to advanced medical imaging technology, the Tift Regional Medical Center Heart and Vascular Center recently acquired the Symbia Evo Excel nuclear camera from Siemens Healthcare.<\/p>\n

This high-resolution imaging system allows vascular surgeon Dr. William Kaiser and cardiologists Dr. Anthony Burke, Dr. William Hancock, and Dr. Jonathan Tronolone better detection of coronary artery disease, evaluation of blood flow, and assessment of aneurysms or vascular infections, the hospital said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Symbia Evo Excel is designed to improve patient comfort, enhance clinical outcomes, reduce readmission rates, and increase patient throughput,\u201d said Christi Bryant, director of cardiovascular services.<\/p>\n

A standard nuclear camera detects cardiovascular disease by tracking a small, injected amount of radioactive tracer through the blood and into the heart muscle. Special cameras detect gamma rays emitted by the tracer to create images. \u00a0Because the Symbia Evo Excel camera offers low-dose imaging, it does not emit any radiation and individuals accompanying the patient can remain in the room during the exam, if necessary. The Symbia Evo Excel also has a larger tunnel opening and high load capacity and thus offers patients more comfort during examinations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is advantageous for patients with claustrophobia and\/or limited mobility,\u201d said Bryant. \u00a0\u201cWe are proud to be able to offer this state-of-the-art technology here in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The TRMC Heart and Vascular Center, a service of Southwell, is in Tifton at 901 E. 18th St. To learn more about the TRMC Heart and Vascular Center and its services and providers, visit\u00a0www.mysouthwell.com\/heart-and-vascular.<\/p>\n
