RADREX-i X-ray Systems Improve Throughput in Hospital's Emergency and Radiology Departments
TUSTIN, Calif. - Following several successful years of utilizing Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc.'s RADREXTM-i digital radiographic (DR) X-ray system, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., has installed two additional systems in the emergency and radiology departments at its recently expanded hospital. Toshiba's RADREX-i systems allow Le Bonheur to conduct safer, faster and more comfortable patient exams from head-to-toe.
"As a high-volume pediatric hospital, we needed an X-ray system to enhance patient comfort and improve departmental efficiency," said Bunny Willis, manager of diagnostic radiology, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. "We selected Toshiba's RADREX-i system for its suite of productivity features, such as RexView, which facilitates less stressful exams for pediatrics, as technologists can review images at the system without leaving the patient's side. Additionally, Toshiba's been an outstanding partner and has delivered imaging solutions across multiple modalities for our diverse pediatric patient population."

Toshiba's RADREX-i is a robust digital X-ray system featuring numerous automated features, high-resolution imaging and RexView, a color LCD screen located on the overhead tube crane (OTC), allowing technologists immediate access to review images and determine quickly what is needed for diagnosis. RADREX-i's automated features include auto-tracking, auto-collimation, auto-program and auto-center stop, resulting in shorter exams and improving productivity and workflow.
"RADREX-i's user-friendly features are essential for technologists, particularly in a high-volume pediatric setting like Le Bonheur Children's Hospital," said Stephen Bumb, director, X-ray Vascular Business Unit, Toshiba. "Le Bonheur is now able to conduct more efficient X-ray imaging while also making it safer for patients with less radiation dose - a product of the system's dose reduction features and shorter exam time."
Le Bonheur also utilizes four KalareTM X-ray systems, an AquilionTM ONE CT system and two InfinixTM-i bi-plane vascular X-ray systems from Toshiba.
