WEST VANCOUVER legion’s $4,770 donation to the Lions Gate Hospital's ultrasound department helped
toward the purchase of a new transvaginal probe. The probe improves diagnosis in early pregnancies and im-
proves assessments of pelvic masses. Pictured are (left to right) David Brousson, chairman of the LGH Foun-

WV legion donates $4,770
to ultrasound department

WEST VANCOUVER Legion
Branch #60 representatives recently
presented the Lions Gate Hospital
Foundation with a cheque for
$4,770 toward the purchase of a
$18,000 transvaginal probe for the
hospital’s ultrasound department.

Dr. Mary Graham, clinical
director of Diagnostic Ultrasound,
is enthusiastic about the benefits of
the high frequency probe.

‘*We will use this to complement
our ultrasound scanning as it gives
a better resolution of the lining of
the uterus and we can look at
masses next to the ovaries,’’ she
said. ‘‘It also provides much better
imaging for obese patients where
excess tissue interferes with regular
scanning.’”

The probe will also be appreci-
ated by patients who have bleeding
in the early stages of pregnancy

because in many cases it can verify
immediately whether or not their
pregnancy is viable.

“It is very difficult to wait and
wonder for weeks,” Dr. Graham
said. ‘‘We appreciate being able to
give reassurance right away.”

The West Vancouver legion
makes an annual contribution to
LGH to help purchase hospital
equipment.

Our bar is stocked with luscious watermelon. Crisp cantaloupe
