SOLIHULL HOSPITAL CHOOSES BIOPTICS
The x-ray department at Solihull Hospital installed the latest Bioptics Digital Specimen Radiography System recently.
Karen Sanford, Lead Mammographer at Solihull Hospital, said, “We wanted to be able to image our core biopsy specimens in a device intended for this purpose. After considering alternatives, we chose the Bioptics for the quality of the images it produces and the simplicity of its operation. It has proven to be very reliable and popular with staff. The ‘one button’ operation couldn’t be easier and the QA in the morning is simple”.
The Bioptics is linked to the Trusts PACS system enabling reports for theatre specimens to be transmitted quickly.
Says superintendant radiographer Sharon Lynch: "Identification fo calcs has been made far easier and enables us to speed-up the whole biopsy process for our patients. The Bioptics is so easy to use that any one in our team is able to produce a high quality image in seconds."
