Siemens Healthcare of Erlangen, Germany, has filled an order from Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust in the U.K. for the installation of 10 Ysio wi-D digital radiography (DR) systems.

Queen Alexandra Hospital will support in- and outpatient, adult, pediatric, and emergency imaging needs with eight DR systems. Nearby St Mary's Hospital has installed one Ysio for general imaging, and Hampshire Community Health Care's Gosport War Memorial Hospital has installed a system for community-based imaging.

The wireless flat-panel detector is designed to enhance examination versatility and reduce manual handling of patients. It targets the examination of immobile or pediatric patients for trauma, chest, and extremity work.
