Chelsea and Westminster increases imaging capability

A&E superintendent radiographer Paul Hague, radiographers Olivia Whitlock, Emma Compton and Ishmael Quao and Siemens Healthineers applications specialist XPRF Emma Reid.

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in West London has enhanced its imaging services to ensure an efficient workflow throughout A&E in the first phase of a major redevelopment of the emergency department which includes a new imaging suite.  Additions in technology from Siemens Healthineers include two Ysio Max digital x-ray systems, a Somatom Definition AS CT within A&E, a Multix Fusion digital x-ray and a further Ysio Max in the imaging department.

A&E superintendent radiographer Paul Hague said: “The systems will ensure the A&E department is efficient, can provide faster throughput and shorter waiting times for our patients.  We also anticipate an increase in uptime due to the modern technology and Siemens customer support.”
