Philips scores two Florida x-ray installs

Philips Healthcare has installed MultiDiagnost Eleva x-ray system at Delray Medical Center and MultiDiagnost Eleva with 3D-RX reconstruction technology at West Boca Medical Center, both located in Florida.

The interventional radiology room at Delray Medical Center, which is part of Tenet Healthcare, is gaining a Philips MultiDiagnost Eleva, a C-arm based radiography/fluoroscopy (R/F) system.

Delray's sister hospital, West Boca Medical Center, installed an x-ray system that features 3D-RX reconstruction technology which covers vascular and general interventions, orthopedics and spine procedures. The rotation of the C-arm, which moves 180 degrees around the patient, is a prerequisite for the 3D technology.
