Royal United Hospitals Bath selects DR for fluoroscopy and general radiography

Agfa HealthCare key account manager David Wright, radiology clinical manager Rosie Freeman, consultant radiologist Dr Robert Colliver, Agfa HealthCare imaging sales director and service manager Martin Tew.

Agfa has implemented its first DR 800 room in the UK at Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.  The DR 800 was selected for its flexibility to provide fluoroscopy and general radiography, its Musica image quality and potential patient radiation dose reductions.

“We were looking for a new fluoroscopy room and were very impressed by the DR 800, which not only provides better image quality and detail than our previous system, but also offers general x-ray capability,” explained radiology clinical manager Rosie Freeman.  “We have been very happy with the image quality and lower patient radiation dose of our DR 600 rooms, so we were confident that the DR 800 could meet our needs.  In addition, it has the same user interface as our DR 600 rooms.”
