The outpatients clinic at Canvey Island, part of Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, recently invested in a Toshiba Viamo portable ultrasound system.  

Superintendent radiographer Julie Boyden said: “We are extremely pleased with the Viamo.  It is portable, compact and easily storable – in fact ideal for use in our outreach clinic. 

“The sonographers have found it operator-friendly and ergonomically designed, with consistently good image quality over a range of examinations.”
