“Our new equipment has exceeded all our expectations,” said senior lecturer in diagnostic imaging Chris Alvey.  “The Visionary Suite installed by Fujifilm is a fully integrated x-ray system that consists of state-of-the-art x-ray acquisition equipment with the latest image enhancement and post processing options.  It has an array of advanced image acquisition options, and the Synapse PACS image storage solution is superb.  Both systems together represent a future-proofed investment for the university.”
