Improved imaging for Chorley

Siemens ultrasound specialist Nicola Towers with sonographers Kerry Blackledge and Stephen Dykes and Siemens regional sales manager Bernadette Leonard.

Chorley and South Ribble Hospital, part of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, has installed a second Acuson S2000 ultrasound system from Siemens Healthcare.  It has also received the syngo Auto OB software application and a 9L4 transducer.  The setup is being used primarily for obstetric examinations as well as some general scanning work, including small parts imaging.  Siemens syngo Auto OB applications draws on a large database of ultrasound images to provide instant and automated biometric measurements to the sonographer without the need for manual calculations.
