THE LONDON CLINIC AND BIOPTICS
The London Clinic is situated on Harley Street, in the heart of London’s medical community. Within the radiology department at this prestigious location sits a new BIOPTICS piXarray Digital Specimen System.

After consideration of other devices, The London Clinic chose the BIOPTICS to image their core biopsy and surgical specimens. Krista Midwinter, Superintendant Breast Imaging, explains “the BIOPTICS has comfortably saved us at least 10 minutes per patient. We had been using our mammo system to image our core specimens and this was not always that convenient. Most importantly, the time we have saved has directly benefited the comfort of our patients”.
Surgical specimens are imaged during theatre patient lists with diagnostic analysis available instantly via a connection to the hospital’s PACS system.
“The BIOPTICS at The London Clinic is very special” adds Trevor Mitchell/DAAX Ltd. “There was a requirement to accommodate an independent thermal printer option. After some adaption, this BIOPTICS unit had this facility neatly attached to the side”.
“Integration of the BIOPTICS was simple and our staff have found it very easy to use” says Krista. “Often we need to move it between rooms and its compact, neat design, means it is easy to wheel around the department”.
The London Clinic was formed nearly 80 ago in 1932 by a group of Harley Street doctors and is today recognised as one of the UK’s leading independent hospitals.
