Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust has invested in two Carestream DRX-Revolution mobile x-ray units. The mobiles will be used across 42 wards on the Derriford Hospital site in Plymouth, including four critical care units.
The hospital previously used a combination of mobile CR and wired DR units that will be replaced by the DRX-Revolutions. Lead radiographer Jeanette Snowden said: “The wi-fi facility enables images to be delivered to medical and surgical teams with no delay, having an immediate and positive impact on the delivery of high quality patient care.”
