Equipment Highlights

  • Low-dose Imaging System

    In 2024, a generous pledge from the Douglas M. Noble Family Foundation was completed to help purchase a low-dose imaging system that allows pediatric patients to undergo diagnostic imaging in less than 20 seconds, while remaining standing. This innovative technology will provide highly detailed images of the spine, hips and legs and deliver two to three times less radiation than a computed X-ray and 20 times less than a standard CT. Reducing radiation exposure is critical, especially for children with orthopedic cancer or spinal deformities like scoliosis who receive numerous X-rays to monitor disease progression.

    The addition of this leading-edge technology will make Goryeb Children’s Hospital and Morristown Medical Center one of few locations in the Tri-state area to make the EOS Imaging System available to patients.

Program Highlight
  • Kathleen E. Christie

    Formally established in 2023 through a transformational donation from Kathy Christie, this program produces physicians that are clinically expert in the field of orthopedic surgery and possess habits of life-long learning to build upon their knowledge, skills and professionalism.
