Lewisham Hospital has replaced existing Philips equipment with a Philips MultiDiagnost Eleva with flat panel detector and an Allura Xper FD20 ceiling suspended unit with table tilt.  

Equipped with remote controlled C-arm and flat panel detector, the Eleva is designed to assist with diagnoses and interventions on the same system, saving time for patients and supporting a faster workflow.  It comes with features to cover a broad range of applications, including gastrointestinal and vascular diagnosis and interventions, orthopaedics, urology and trauma.  Lewisham’s system includes orthopaedics clinical software and spine and legs application packages.
