One of the largest specialist heart and chest hospitals in the UK, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provides specialist services in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, respiratory medicine including adult cystic fibrosis and diagnostic imaging.
At the end of 2013 the Groupement de Coopération Sanitaire (GCS) Télésanté Midi-Pyrénées selected Carestream to provide shared PACS and RIS services and teleradiology support.
The DRX-Ascend System can be configured with DRX-1 and DRX-1C detectors. Both detectors fit into the standard Bucky used in X-ray wall stands and tables.
The MPS offering includes a comprehensive Web portal that provides access to film usage, billing, inventory records, shipment tracking and service information among other features.
The hospital staff has been using imaging systems from Carestream for more than 10 years. It also has three Carestream digital radiography rooms and three computed radiography systems.
Diagnostic imaging workstations are being installed in both home and visiting team locker rooms to allow for medical image viewing by physicians and trainers from both the Chargers and visiting teams.
A Motor Assist feature has been added to its fully automated CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution DR Room that allows operators to manually move the overhead tube with assistance from the system’s motors.
The company’s DRX systems help streamline workflow and improve patient care in both room and mobile environments. To maximize utilization and flexibility, the DRX detectors can easily be moved to any DRX room or mobile DRX system.
Pekin Hospital will upgrade its CARESTREAM Vue PACS and purchased Carestream’s Vue Motion image viewer to equip referring physicians and clinicians with convenient access to patients’ radiology images and data using mobile devices.
Todd Minnigh, Carestream’s Vice President, Worldwide Sales & Marketing Development, will give a presentation entitled “Patient Care Over There: What We Can Learn from Radiology Practices Around the Globe”.
