The BMI Harbour Hospital, Poole has recently chosen a HDI 5000 Sono CT system from Philips Ultrasound.
Lyn Parrick, Radiology Manager, explained: "Our department covers quite a broad range of general ultrasound including carotid Doppler, sono-venograms, vascular pre-op work and transvaginal scanning. We also have an increasing amount of musculoskeletal work, particularly from sports injuries." "We had old equipment that needed replacing and chose the HDI 5000 Sono CT because it has a very good reputation as a top-of-the-range machine.
We also took into account the preferences of our radiologists.
They were already familiar with this system and can move between hospitals without having to stop and think about what instrument they are using.
It also meant that the machine was in use a few days after installation and we needed very little training.
The service from Philips Ultrasound is very good but, as always, it was the high quality of the imaging that makes it stand out over and above the competition."
