Reading Time: 3 minutes read
Even in Washington D.C., site of the 38th annual American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) Annual Meeting, there’s one thing everyone can agree on: everyone wants to join the “wireless party.”
Wireless digital imaging solutions can boost OR, ER and staff productivity and deliver enhanced patient comfort. Tethers—which can be both inconvenient and unsanitary—are eliminated. Stop by Carestream Health’s booth at AHRA (#810) and find out just how easy and affordable it is to adopt wireless DR solutions for x-ray rooms, automated suites and mobile x-ray systems.
Here’s what some of our customers are saying about their decision to go wireless in 2010!
- “The new DRX-Evolution can perform every imaging exam we perform because of the unique wireless DRX-1 detectors. This single system has everything we need for a highly productive, diverse imaging workflow,” reports Mark Sevcik, Operations and Development Director, Radiology Consultants Associated
- “Our dual-detector DRX-1 system is located in a busy outpatient clinic that serves 10 orthopedic surgeons and general practitioners. Our productivity has doubled and patient wait times are greatly reduced. This wireless detector also offers the positioning flexibility required by complex orthopedic exams,” notes Mike Foley, Director of Radiology, Tufts Medical Center
- “Converting our GE mobile CR system to the DRX-1 detector allowed us to double productivity, improve image quality and provide better patient care. The line and tube companion image is extremely helpful for critically ill and injured patients, and our physicians and surgeons appreciate the ability to review images in just a few seconds,” notes Robin A Wible, CNMT, Director of Imaging, Memorial Hospital
- Installing a DRX-1 detector in our mobile x-ray system has been a great benefit for spine, total joint and other surgical procedures. It reduces imaging time by 10-15 minutes for each patient and the clarity of the image is outstanding,” said Dr. Dean Natchtigall, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, Memorial Hospital
- “Carestream Health’s family of products based on the DRX-1 detector equips us to gain higher quality and faster image access at a very reasonable price. It will also enable us to offer better care, especially for patients in our emergency room, surgical suite and ICU units,” said Larry Kirschner, Heartland Regional Medical Center’s Director of Radiology
- “We have installed our Carestream DRX detector in one of our analog rooms (previously CR only), and the techs love it – almost more than the dual detector DR rooms! It’s the same user interface as our Carestream CR, so staff training and buy-in was easy. We are awaiting our new GE AMX-4 portable and then will retrofit with a DRX detector for use in our PICU. Can’t wait! Thanks for sharing your experience with this product – we agree with your positive results. And for us, it’s in a pediatric environment – our providers like the image quality.” commented Bonnie Wold, Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare
