A turnkey solution, the project included lighting and a sky panel, as well as an integrated and ceiling-mounted automatic contrast injector. Senior planning radiographer Rebecca Morgan said: “We now have a well-designed, spacious environment, which vastly improves the patient and staff experience, with great workflow and clear areas due to plenty of storage space.”
