Royal Gwent Hospital, part of Aneurin Bevan University Hospital Health Board, has bolstered its CT interventional and colonography capabilities with the installation of a Somatom Definition Edge system from Siemens Healthcare.  This is the second system installed by the health board, following positive feedback from staff in the key areas of dose reduction and image quality.

“Through the investment in this technology we are able to provide the highest level of service to our patients,” said Royal Gwent and Nevill Hall Hospital radiology services manager Andrew Carter. “The low dose functionality alongside the high image quality is of considerable benefit to clinicians and patients alike.”
