Salford Royal installs digital radiography system

At Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust are clinical support worker Paul Green, clinical director radiology Dr Jill Carlin, Siemens regional sales manager John Brady, superintendent radiographers Phil Smalley and Emma Collard and radiology directorate manager Elaine Quick.

Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust has installed an Ysio wi-D digital radiography system from Siemens Healthcare to assist with rapid throughput in its new A&E department.  It is hoped the system will alleviate pressure on other departments by increasing imaging capacity and shortening examination times.

“We chose the Ysio wi-D from Siemens Healthcare because it produces high resolution images at a much lower dose,” said superintendaent radiographer for A&E and theatre Phil Smalley.  “After looking at all the options available, we decided the Ysio was best suited to the hospital’s needs.”
