Familiar interface of DR systems is an advantage

Mid-Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust has installed six Carestream DRX-Revolution mobile x-ray systems to help provide rapid access to high resolution images.  The units have replaced existing CR systems and are deployed at Pinderfields and Dewsbury and District Hospitals for use in ITU, ICU, respiratory wards, general surgical wards and resuscitation units. All six systems are equipped with DRX-1C caesium iodide detectors.

Radiology staff across the trust are familiar with Carestream’s DR systems as ten are already in use, including six DRX-Evolution rooms.  Pinderfields Hospital, radiology services manager Sue Robinson said: “The familiar user interface has been a great plus point for the team.  During the period we had the equipment on trial we had some applications training and the staff were able to very quickly operate the equipment, manipulate images and to use it clinically on the wards.”
