C-arm system reduces doses in Jersey
Philips UKI interventional product specialist Simon Bunce, deputy modality manager Karran Gurney, radiographer John Beckwolden and modality manager Duncan Depledge.
The General Hospital in Jersey has installed a Veradius Neo system from Philips UKI. A counterbalanced C-arm with a thin flat detector, it consists of a C-arm stand with a compact footprint and rear-wheel steering for easy manoeuvrability and positioning.
Main factors influencing the hospital’s decision included Philips’ reputation and the angiography package that came with the equipment.
Modality manager Duncan Depledge said: “The Veradius Neo produces images at a similar quality and dose to the fixed x-ray rooms, allowing us to significantly reduce the doses to patients on the pain list, for example, while improving the quality of images for the surgeon.”
