The new equipment offers the advantage of both increased functionality and high patient throughput, utilising workstations with variable examination profiles. The KODAK DIRECTVIEW DR 9500 System can handle all types of exam demand, from general radiology, paediatrics and orthopaedics, through to casualty X-rays. The unique ceiling-mounted U-arm contains both a tube and detector to deliver unprecedented mobility and operational flexibility for faster patient positioning. For example, it allows radiographers to capture images of the left and right side of the body without moving the patient. From an ergonomic point of view, adjustment techniques have never been easier.
The decision to move from analogue capture to digital radiography was supported by
