East Surrey Hospital has received an Aquilion Prime 160 CT scanner, making it the third Toshiba Medical scanner at the hospital. Sited in the emergency department, the equipment was selected for its reliability and the after sales service, as well as its low dose capabilities and image quality.
CT scan superintendent Shennan Jose said: “The excellent training package provided by the Toshiba Medical team met our learning needs exactly. The equipment has a very user-friendly platform staff can move seamlessly between scanners. We are already reaping the benefits of selecting the bariatric couch option and the horizontal move’ feature is very useful for trauma patients.”
