State of the Art Direct Digital Equipment for Benenden Hospital

 Patients at Benenden Hospital are set to benefit from some of the latest X-ray equipment on the market. The hospital has just installed state of the art digital machinery which transforms X-rays into images and enables the consultant to view the image within five seconds of it being taken. It also significantly reduces the amount of radiation emitted.The X-ray equipment can be configured in many ways enabling technicians to use it for a wide range of applications and its single touch-screen console speeds up the process considerably, meaning that more patients can be treated. “The new equipment will transform the way the X-ray department works and will be especially useful for orthopaedics,’ said Imaging Manager Jeremy Harrington. “There are no plates or films involved so, for example, a patient with osteoarthritis can have their joint X-rayed and within four seconds the image will be sent to the consultant who will be able to discuss treatment there and then. This will be fantastic for patients as it will be a much quicker process and could reduce the need for return visits.”  Set in the Kent countryside between Cranbrook and Tenterden, Benenden Hospital has been cited as a ‘shining example’ by the President of the Royal College of Surgeons and has an excellent record for infection prevention and control. It is currently undergoing a programme of investment in equipment and services and treats members of the Benenden Healthcare Society, private patients and NHS patients under the Free Choice scheme in which people can choose where to be treated.  

Tim Dickinson managing director of Med Imaging limited and Tiina Holkko managing director of Instrumentarium are seen here signing a new contract enabling Med Imaging to add the valued name of Instrumentarium to its portfolio of dental radiology equipment.
