Kelly Tokar / CT Department Supervisor – The CT Department went through a tremendous change during the later portion of 2014 by renovating the department and installing two new state-of-the-art CT scanners. This was extremely challenging and stressful for the department, as they were performing on one CT scanner what they would normally do with two scanners. Kelly Tokar guided her department through this project with her positive, can-do attitude. Not only was she dealing with the scanner situation, there was the construction and the associated interruptions and challenges, equipment being moved out and in, disrupting patient flow, as well as the extra people, construction workers, and equipment service engineers milling in and around the department. In addition, once the first new scanner was operational, she adjusted staffing to accommodate applications training while still providing outstanding customer service to the patients her department serves. Kelly, thank you for your passion and dedication, not only to Southwest Diagnostic Imaging Center, but to the patients you serve and the department you lead.

These highly detailed images provide our radiologists with information on a person’s anatomy and pathology to help them evaluate a wide range of patient conditions, including strokes, cancer and musculoskeletal disorders or injuries.
