Following a European-wide tender process, University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium, has ordered a number of digital radiography solutions from Carestream Health to help enhance patient care. The order includes three CARESTREAM DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray Systems, one with the new smaller format CARESTREAM DRX 2530C Detector designed to fit into paediatric incubator trays plus a dual detector CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution for general use in the Radiology department, all supported by a seven year managed service contract.
The three DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray Systems will be located in the Neonatology department, ICU and the Emergency department, the latter being fitted with the newly designed tube and grid alignment feature that helps encourage the use of grids, which can result in higher quality images.
University Hospital Leuven is Belgium's largest single site hospital and provides quality medical and paramedical services to ambulant and hospitalised patients. Approximately 500k radiology exams are undertaken annually.
"For many years UZ Leuven has been a key reference site for one of our competitors so this is a tremendous strategic win for Carestream and underscores the exceptional functionality and user flexibility offered by our wireless DRX detectors and X-Factor platform," said Nicolaas Fosselle Sales Manager for Belgium and Luxembourg, Carestream Health. "In particular they recognised that key features like the moveable wall stand of the Evolution and the extreme flexibility of the mobile Revolutions could help speed the capture of imaging studies so that their physicians can quickly assess patients and begin treatment immediately. This technology will make a significant difference to day-to-day workflow at the hospital."
