“We standardized on Carestream digital radiography imaging systems
because they offer excellent image quality and advanced image
enhancement software that delivers the fine diagnostic detail required
by our orthopaedic, pediatric, trauma and other specialists,” said
Stephen Hopkins, Director of Diagnostic Imaging for Kent Hospital. “Our
healthcare system converted to digital radiography to enhance image
quality, boost staff productivity and deliver rapid access to images for
physicians.”
The health system deployed Carestream’s optional long-length imaging
software that automatically captures, aligns and stitches together up to
three images. Care New England hospitals also use Carestream’s SmartGrid
software and CARESTREAM
DRX Plus 3543 and CARESTREAM DRX 2530C cesium iodide detectors to
deliver excellent image quality at a lower dose.
At Kent Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital existing portable systems
were upgraded to DR and three Carestream DRX-Revolution mobile systems
also perform exams for inpatients and critical care patients.
“Our portable systems are equipped with optional Carestream software
that can enhance imaging of PICC lines and detection of pneumothorax,”
said Gina Demou, Director of Diagnostic Imaging at Women & Infants
Hospital. “Carestream’s SmartGrid software delivers excellent image
quality and high resolution without the need to use an anti-scatter
grid. This has significantly enhanced patient comfort.”
Ms. Demou added that Carestream detectors are well built and have
survived drops, been recalibrated and tested, and then returned to
service.
