The women’s and children’s department at Hull Royal Infirmary has acquired five Toshiba ultrasound systems.  The department purchased four Aplio 500 scanners, replacing older systems, and one Xario 200 machine.

Consultant radiologist and lead for obstetrics and gynaecological ultrasound Dr Anne-Marie Coady said: “We have been using Toshiba equipment for almost 15 years and we have always found the equipment to be very well suited to all aspects of women’s health imaging.  The advances in technology have always been at the forefront of imaging and the company has always been very supportive to the ever-evolving needs of a very busy, modern obstetric and gynaecology department.”
