Mobile x-ray with a familiar interface was sensible choice
With the Carestream Revolution are deputy head of radiology Karen Brakewell, Carestream account manager north of England Jonathan Atkinson, radiographers David Jones and Liam Maxfield, A&E registrar Martin Anfield and lead radiographer Rosemary Wilson.
University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust has installed a Carestream Revolution mobile unit in the resuscitation unit of the new A&E department at Royal Lancaster Infirmary.
The department already has a Carestream DRX-Evolution DR room and a Carestream CR system.
X-ray department lead radiographer Rosemary Wilson said: “The Revolution produces high quality images with low patient doses, but for us the main benefit is the ability for the referring clinician to review images immediately following exposure, resulting in prompt diagnosis and treatment for the patient. The wireless RIS and PACS connection provides great flexibility and in a fraction of the time.”
