PORT ANGELES — Michael Fishman could barely contain his excitement.
High-resolution images rotated before him on a tack-sharp 21-inch computer monitor.
They were the results of the highest of medical hi-tech gadgetry, and Fishman is enthralled.
“Oh, man. That’s beautiful — that’s just beautiful,” he said with wild-eyed vigor reminiscent of a kid at Christmas.
Fishman is a radiologist at Olympic Medical Center.
The present he unwrapped last week was a state-of-the-art imaging machine called the LightSpeed Ultra CT — a Computed Tomography machine.
The medical center’s board of commissioners approved the purchase of two of these General Electric scanners — one for the hospital in Port Angeles and one for its medical imaging center in Sequim (that one should be installed by Nov. 2).
