Tees Hospital mobile ‘turns on a sixpence’

HCA Janet Walton, radiographers Sarah Bowyer and Julie Roberts, Fujifilm senior account manager John Casson and radiology manager Nicola Gregson-Maidwell.

Nuffield Health has expanded its portfolio of Fujifilm digital imaging systems with the installation of an FDR nano mobile x-ray unit at its Tees Hospital.

The radiology department had an extensive list of requirements, as radiology manager Nicola Gregson-Maidwell, explained:  “I needed a lightweight unit that was capable of producing images rapidly and of a very high quality to facilitate a smooth and efficient patient journey.  It also needed to be intuitive and liked by all the team.  The cost of the unit had to be attractive too.  We had a lot of expectations and the new FDR nano did not disappoint.”

Gregson-Maidwell continued: “All the team love using this mobile; the images are so detailed, which aids diagnosis, and they are acquired very quickly offering a better experience for our patients.

“The FDR nano is so light that it moves over all floorings within the hospital with ease.  Like the saying goes, it turns on a sixpence and this is ideal when imaging in bedrooms and navigating around furniture.”
