Sunderland Royal increases emergency CT capacity

Canon Medical Systems account manager Ruth Rowe and senior applications specialist Heather Dring, CT modality lead Cheryl Bean, CT radiographers Holly Fergusson, Eloise Collings and Faustina Walton, health care assistant Steph Wake and CT radiographer Portia Makuyana.

Sunderland Royal Hospital has installed an Aquilion One Genesis Edition CT system in its newly-built emergency department.

CT modality lead Cheryl Bean said: “Our new CT scanner, located within the footprint of our new ED, will allow us to provide faster access for the scanning of patients presenting to the department.  We chose a Canon Medical Systems scanner to add to our two existing systems within radiology.  The ease-of-use of the scanning platform allows transferable skills between all three scanners.”
