St John and St Elizabeth Hospital, a leading charitable independent hospital, has acquired a Canon Medical Systems Aquilion One Genesis CT scanner.
Radiology service manager Shila Mistry said: “The new Aquilion One Genesis CT scanner has very significantly lowered our doses. The radiologists and our referrers are delighted with the image quality and we have had a lot of very positive feedback from cardiologists.
“The ability to scan the whole heart in a single rotation, using the wide area detector at low dose, has revolutionised our cardiac service and significantly increased the patient throughput. The dual energy on the scanner is excellent and very-user friendly.”
