Carestream upgrades Pa. hospital with three installs

Memorial Hospital in York, Pa., has chosen to install three DR products from Carestream Health in their DR suites.

The hospital has purchased a Carestream DRX-1 system, which can convert an existing x-ray room to wireless DR in less than a day, a dual-detector Carestream DRX-Evolution and a Carestream DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit, said the Rochester, N.Y.-based company.

In addition, the hospital plans to use a detector from its DRX-Evolution system for portable exams, said Carestream.
