Satisfaction with the technologies and capabilities of a flagship ultrasound system from superintendent radiographer at Alder Hey
Ultrasound gets bigger, better, brighter Satisfaction with the technologies and capabilities of a flagship ultrasound system from superintendent radiographer at Alder Hey New technologies and capabilities on Philips Ultrasound's flagship system, the HDI 5000, have been welcomed by Sharon Crawford, superintendent radiographer at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool.
"We really weren't sure we needed all these new packages on our new system, but now we are very glad we have them.
Xres, SonoCT and compound imaging are all used to improve the ultrasound image, while panoramic imaging is very useful when scanning larger areas.
Overall, the system as a whole certainly makes you more confident in what you can see." "And it's not just the equipment - it's the backup service we get with it although fortunately, it's such a reliable system that in the last year we have only needed routine servicing.
We looked on the open market for our new system, but there was nothing that came near the HDI 5000."
