A Philips Allura FD10 cardiac system now supplements other cardiovascular equipment at Royal Derby Hospital.  It offers 3D CA and StentBoost imaging techniques to provide sharper images and low x-ray dose.

 

StentBoost enhances stent visualisation in the coronary arteries, showing the stent in relation to the vessel walls during the procedure, which assists in placing the stent more accurately.

 

Site superintendent radiographer Sue Johnson commented: “We value Philips’ engineering support and like its user interfaces, which are consistent across all the systems we have.  Their equipment delivers value for money and at the same time looks good – a plus point for both staff and patients.”
