Elite for Lewisham

Lewisham Hospital has taken delivery of a power injector from Covidien.  The Optistar Elite MR injector is a battery-free, integrated system for injection of contrast medium for MRI.

MRI deputy radiographer Sarah-Jane Platt said: “It is so easy to use and quick to load; it has made post-contrast scanning much easier.”

Click-in syringe loading for swift preparation and an intuitive user interface are among the benefits of the system, which is now being used in many sites across the county.
