Asteral, in partnership with University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL) has installed the first of four new digital x-ray rooms at Glenfield Hospital’s radiology department. The Samsung manufactured GC85, distributed by MIS, is one of four rooms that will be installed at the hospital in the next year as part of their Asteral Select contract.
The state-of-the-art Samsung GC85 room features two wireless DR detectors with a DQE of around 80%. The room comes with fully automated movement as standard in all of its key elements. With anatomical programming the system offers virtually ‘hands off’ radiography capable of almost 1,000 different protocols.
Nick Clark, radiology site manager of the Glenfield hospital, commented: “With its innovative automation aimed at reducing RSI, its ease of use and novel features like SAlign and SShare allows Samsung to be at the forefront of ground breaking technology. These features along with others show a real advance in plain film room technology.
