Siemens Healthineers has installed several systems at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in West London as part of a major redevelopment of the facility's emergency department.
New additions include two Ysio Max digital radiography (DR) systems, a Somatom Definition AS CT scanner installed in the accident and emergency department, and a Multix Fusion DR system.
Automatic Ortho and SmartOrtho software on the Ysio Max systems will allow the hospital to perform long-leg and whole-spine imaging in accident and emergency. Prior to this, all patients were transferred to the main imaging department, because there was only one system available. Autopositioning, preprogrammed functions, and increased automation are easing pressure on radiographers and helping to ensure a smooth workflow, Siemens said.
