Philips Healthcare is responsible for the Managed Equipment Service (MES), which includes PACS and computed radiography systems St George’s University Hospital in London.  Two digital OPG systems and associated digital dental intra oral systems have now been installed to fully digitise the dental department’s workflow.  

The Planmeca Proline OPG systems were supplied by Xograph, one of which was DR and the other CR.  All of the dental systems are connected to the network and the images stored to PACS.
