Springfield Hospital goes fully digital

Ramsay Health Care UK has installed a Carestream DRX Evolution Plus general x-ray room with dual wireless shared detectors at its Springfield Hospital site in Chelmsford, Essex. The 64-bed unit, which opened in 1987, focuses mainly on elective surgery including orthopaedics, spinal, general and cosmetic, pain management, endoscopy, urology and gynaecology.
This installation will move the whole radiology department at Springfield from analogue to digital radiography by linking it to a Carestream RIS/PACS solution that is already in place and currently being upgraded, allowing hospital staff to take, share and store high quality images quickly and efficiently within a single system.
