Radiology site manager Stephen Roberts explained: “The Ultimax-i has allowed our department to offer a greater range of examinations to our service users.  The usability, flexibility, dose reduction and image quality of the Toshiba kit offers a vast improvement over the previous system we had in our department.

“The very large digital detector offers many advantages fro a range of clinical situations and it has enabled us to reduce our waiting times in area such as diagnostic and therapeutic joint injections.”
