Edinburgh hospital opens with Siemens x-ray systems

The newly opened Spire Shawfair Park Hospital has installed Siemens Healthcare's Axiom Luminos dRF and Ysio wi-D DR system.

The Edinburgh, Scotland hospital implemented Siemens’ Luminos for diagnostic and therapeutic hip/shoulder arthrography, as well as for hysterosalpingography (HSG), barium studies and lap-band adjustments. Erlangen, Germany-based Siemens’ Ysio provides general x-ray imaging and includes a wireless detector and 5-second post-exposure delivery to PACS, the company said.
