Three new diagnostic ultrasound systems for first trimester obstetric imaging have been installed into the maternity outpatients department at Princess Royal Hospital, part of Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. The Aplio i600 systems from Canon Medical Systems UK will sit in adjacent rooms and be used for routine scanning of early pregnancy anomalies, growth and fetal medicine.
“We’ve been well supported by the Canon Medical Systems application specialists since installation,” said maternity outpatients manager Lindsay Reid. “They have tailored our training to what we need and replicated set-up across the three units to ensure continuity of use when our sonographers move between rooms. The new systems provide great quality images, particularly in cardiac, and will help us deliver a superior quality of maternity services to our patient catchment into the future.”
The Aplio i600 diagnostic ultrasound system is designed to increase efficiency, boost user flexibility and provide quality image outputs. It offers a range of transducers to support a variety of clinical applications.
Canon Medical Systems UK ultrasound sales specialist Nicole Starr said: “Repeat business is testimony to our company commitment of working hard for our customers and ensuring that frontline imaging systems meet everyday demands and do the job they need to do.”
