Images on display in seconds increase throughput

Konica Minolta’s regional sales manager Carol Russell, deputy superintendent radiographer Janet Hodgson and senior radiographers Min Oakes, Donna Tame and Anna White.

One of Oxfordshire’s busiest hospitals has cut x-ray processing times using a new radiography system from Konica Minolta.  The Aero DR system’s rapid imaging capabilities have increased the numbers of patients passing through the x-ray suite at Banbury’s Horton General Hospital.

Imaging appears on the display of the CS7 console in less than two seconds.   Deputy superintendent radiographer Janet Hodgson said: “The Aero DR allows us to increase throughput by quite a margin as there is no need to process individual cassettes – we see our images within a few seconds.  This means that busy outpatient clinics and walk-in GP sessions can be serviced with the minimum delay.”
