Ulster Hospital has purchased a state-of the-art Philips MultiDiagnost Eleva system with flat detector and remote controlled C-arm to assist with diagnoses and interventions on the same system.  It comes with a range of features to cover a broad area of applications, including gastrointestinal and vascular diagnoses and interventions, orthopaedics, urology and trauma.

Superintendent radiographer Karen Mills said: “The Eleva has given us a system which is straightforward to use, produces excellent image quality at a very low dose and the reliability that is necessary in order to maintain the high patient throughput required.”
