Memphis hospital deploys Toshiba DR systems

Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., has installed two Toshiba America Medical Systems’ Radrex-i DR x-ray systems, one in the emergency department and one in the radiology department, at its recently expanded hospital.

The installations will join a Radrex-i system previously installed at the hospital, according to Tustin, Calif.-based Toshiba.

Radrex-i features RexView, a color LCD screen located on the overhead tube crane, and tools such as auto-tracking, auto-collimation, auto-program and auto-center stop to improve workflow.
