Latest DRX Technology Selected by Belgium’s Largest Single Site Hospital

Carestream Health has secured a European-wide tender process and will be delivering a number of digital radiography solutions to University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium. These will assist in the enhancement of patient care in the areas of the Neonatology department, ICU and the Emergency department, and include a seven year managed service contract. 

Three DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray Systems have been ordered, among them the Carestream DRX 2530C Detector, a newly designed smaller size for paediatric incubator trays. The Revolution model to be used in the Emergency department features an innovative tube and grid alignment that can lead to higher quality images through the encouragement of the use of grids.

As Belgium’s largest single site hospital, University Hospital Leuven conducts about 500k annual radiology exams via their quality medical and paramedical services provided to outpatients as well as admitted patients.

Nicolaas Fosselle is Sales Manager for Belgium and Luxembourg at Carestream Health and he is confident that the new wireless DRX detectors and X-Factor technology will improve the everyday hospital workflow significantly. “For many years UZ Leuven has been a key reference site for one of our competitors so this is a tremendous strategic win for Carestream and underscores the exceptional functionality and user flexibility offered by our innovative platform” said Fosselle. He concluded that the advancements in technology offered improved features, such as the Evolution’s moveable wall stand and the Revolution’s exceptional flexibility, which could help assist the capture of imaging studies. This in turn would enable physicians to assess patients faster and ensure immediate start of treatment.
