Conquest Hospital, part of the East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, has modernised a 22-year-old interventional radiology room with the installation of an Artis zee ceiling mounted angiography system from Siemens Healthcare.  The system is being used in the hospital’s trauma centre, which is also utilised as a back-up cardiac room, helping to increase throughput at the hospital.

“We chose Siemens Healthcare to supply this much needed upgrade because the system represented advanced technology at good value, plus it was strengthened by the excellent support from customer services,” said clinical modality manager Kate Poulter. “It offers incisive image quality while maintaining low dose, ensuring the ongoing safety of the patient.  We’ve been using the system primarily for vascular work, including endovascular aneurysm repair, but also for a range of non-vascular interventional procedures such as kyphoplasty and biliary intervention.”
