Southampton is first UK hospital to add MyLab X90 ultrasound system
Rheumatology patients at NIHR Southampton Clinical Research Facility are to benefit from the addition of Esaote’s MyLab X90 ultrasound system.
Consultant rheumatologist and clinical lead for rheumatology Dr Chris Holroyd and consultant rheumatologist Dr Brian Davidson have been involved in the purchase of eight Esaote ultrasound systems since 2015. An ageing Esaote ultrasound system was granted replacement funding and Dr Holroyd and Dr Davidson decided to purchase the MyLab X90 system, which was launched in 2023.
“We have always used Esaote; we know the systems and Esaote has a history of great power Doppler,” said Dr Holroyd. “All the users are used to them and really like the systems, so it makes sense to replace them with [equipment from] the same company. We are so excited to be the first customer for the new Esaote MyLab X90. Southampton always likes to lead the way with new things.”
