HealthManagement, Volume 10 - Issue 5, 2010

Brest Regional University Hospital in Western Brittany, France, has purchased a CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution following a study into existing equipment at the hospital and an analysis of future needs for their 24-hour emergency facility. Following installation of the DRX-Evolution, the number of examinations is said to have risen from 1,500 per month to more than 2,000. The client states that the technology of the detector offered by Carestream Health proved attractive as it provided the best compromise between mobility and weight as a wired detector was thought too restrictive, especially for an emergency facility. The ability to carry out a "direct" hand examination, simply by extending the bucky from the table was also important, as was the use of the rail mounted wall stand detector for on-table profile examinations which involves minimal movement of the patient while maintaining excellent image quality.
