Mobile DR units chosen for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital
Diagnostic paediatric radiographer Marium Rasheed and paediatric radiographer Joe Anderson.
The new Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool opened its doors to its first patients in October last year.
Fujifilm Medical was chosen to fit the radiology department with five FDR Go Mobiles, and the first of its new generation D-Evo II C24i digital detectors to be installed in Europe. The selection process was rigorous but after several trials with different manufacturers the decision was made that these systems best met the hospital’s needs.
All the mobiles have been fitted with graphics to brighten up the wards and help prevent the children feeling intimidated by the machines. Users report that they love the graphics as they attract the children’s attention.
