King’s Lynn trust adds cardiac imaging

CT/MR radiographers Fran Williams and Alan Williams, Toshiba Medical account manager Colin Pellow, CT/MR radiographer Ed Laws, consultant radiologist and clinical lead in radiology Dr Sarah Fleming, CT/MR radiographers Claire Evans, Pierce Galvin and Lauren Kenny, and lead CT/MR radiographer Norma Watkins.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn has replaced two ten-year old CT scanners with Aquilion Prime 160-slice CT systems from Toshiba Medical.
CT/MRI radiographer Norma Watkins said: “We were impressed by the fast scanning and reduction in radiation dose. The scanners are compact, offering clinical flexibility and good patient comfort.
“Streamlined workflow and easy patient set-up enable us to provide an efficient service. In addition, we found working with Toshiba proved to be a positive experience; the installation was completed on time and the applications training was very comprehensive.”
