GOSH’s dose saving needs met with biplane addition
At Great Ormond Street Hospital are Toshiba Medical Systems account executive Stephen Whale, cardiac nurses Hanna Zwimferis and Simon Kelliher, consultant cardiologist Dr Henning Clausen, cardiac nurse Kate Begley, consultant cardiologist Dr Graham Derrick and cardiac nurse Andrew Beckingham.
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) has purchased a Toshiba Infinix-i biplane system that will be used primarily for interventional cardiology, and by the hospital’s interventional radiologists and neuroradiologists.
Consultant paediatric cardiologist Dr Graham Derrick said: “We are delighted with the system, it provides a series of leading dose saving features for patients and operators, which is a high priority in our paediatric environment.”
GOSH’s system is one of the first in the UK to have Toshiba’s 30 x 30 cm flat detector.
