"The images are quite superior and, to be honest, once you have used it you don't go back."
For BMI Fawkham Manor Hospital a HDI 5000 Sono CT from Philips Ultrasound is the number one choice.
Suzanne Evans, senior ultrasonographer, explained: "We offer a general medical scanning service provided by consultant radiologists and sonographers.
The radiologists also carry out a range of procedures which includes mainly prostatic biopsies, breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided invasive breast examinations. Some venous Doppler work is also undertaken." "We chose the Philips Ultrasound HDI 5000 Sono CT because the quality of the imaging is so good, especially the high-grade imaging of small parts examinations, where the detail and resolution that you get really is second to none.
Overall, the equipment itself is easy to operate and very user friendly.
At first glance it can look daunting but it is actually quite logical to use and the Philips Ultrasound applications specialists were very good in setting up the system and helping us with any teething problems. One of the biggest selling points is Sono CT.
The images are quite superior and, to be honest, once you have used it you don't go back."
