Agfa Radiology Solutions is pleased to announce that Airedale NHS Foundation Trust has chosen to install five top-performance DR 600 rooms across multiple sites.  The first of these X-ray rooms has now been installed at the Trust’s main site, Airedale General Hospital in Steeton, West Yorkshire.

Airdale General Hospital is a 400-bed multidisciplinary hospital with several peripheral sites.  It employs 2,900 staff and treats around 50,000 patients in the A&E and approximately 150,000 patients in other areas per year.

Focus on trust, performance and partnership

“We are pleased to have taken delivery of the first of the five DR 600 rooms,” says Simranjeet Jawanda PF Team Lead Radiographer at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust.

“We are very proud to have been chosen by the Airedale NHS Foundation Trust to deliver five top-performance DR 600 digital X-ray rooms and look forward to developing a long-term relationship with the Trust as its partner of choice. While the Trust had limited experience with Agfa’s legacy systems, we were able to demonstrate our commitment to offering solutions and services that matched their requirements. The robust design and radiographer-focused workflow of the DR 600 played a key role in meeting the Trust’s expectations. Our strong track record in imaging and transparent vendor engagement throughout the tender process helped reinforce confidence in Agfa Radiology Solutions as a trusted partner,” says Joshua Akin-George, Sales Leader Europe-North, Agfa Radiology Solutions.

The DR 600 offers speed, precision and comfort

The high-productivity, fully automatic, ceiling-suspended DR 600 room streamlines workflow and increases throughput, even in the busiest care environments. Proven technologies such as ZeroForce™ manoeuvrability as well as auto-positioning and auto-tracking, enhance the experience of patients and operators alike.

Like all Agfa DR systems, the DR 600 is powered by MUSICA^®, with a single, intuitive user interface for smooth, efficient DR imaging. Agfa’s latest generation, gold-standard MUSICA^® image processing software provides ‘first time right’ imaging, reducing retakes and supporting ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principles for radiation dose.
