Latest Diagnostic Imaging Technology Helps Pennsylvania Hospital Make Work Flow

When it came time for Jameson Hospital in New Castle, Pa., to outfit its new emergency department, they needed the latest in diagnostic imaging technology to help them meet the requirements of their population. These systems needed to incorporate technology that puts information at doctors’ fingertips, making it easier for them to do their job, faster.

To increase the efficiency of X-ray procedures, a must for high-volume emergency departments, Jameson purchased Canon Medical Systems’ RADREX™-i Wireless digital radiographic (DR) X-ray system. The RADREX-i provides flexibility in system design, featuring a lightweight, cable-free, 14" x 17" panel that is easy to use and maneuver, enabling high quality imaging and exam efficiency.
