Birmingham Heartlands Hospital has acquired two Toshiba Aplio 500 ultrasound scanners as part of the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust’s equipment replacement programme. The trust purchased five Aplio 500 systems in total, with Solihull Hospital receiving the other three units.
“We reviewed a number of machines from different manufacturers and decided that Toshiba was best for our clinical needs,” explained trust clinical lead sonographer Ryan Carr. “The image quality has greatly improved and we are now in the early stages of introducing fusion scanning. There is a large selection of probes to choose from and we have invested in a 3D transvaginal probe to improve our capabilities within this area.”
