Alliance Medical, leading European provider of managed imaging services, has become the first company in the U.K. to install the revolutionary new Konica Minolta `Drypro' 793 Laser Imager.

Launched recently, this modern system is now on duty at the BARLBOROUGH TREATMENT CENTRE, in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, where it serves an integrated PACS system.

Also installed with the `Drypro' Laser Imager is a Konica Minolta `Regius' 190 CR System with the latest CS-2 user interface, these representing a combination of leading-edge digital medical equipment.


Originally opened in June last year, Alliance Medical's popular Barlborough Treatment Centre offers the latest orthopaedic procedures from its purpose-built premises to a variety of patients in the Trent and south Yorkshire catchment areas.

Commenting on the success of the recently installed `Drypro' 793 Laser Imager, Andy Best, the Treatment Centre Manager said, "As the first UK company to install this latest system, I can state that we are most impressed with its high quality of medical imaging, and are delighted by its output and performance."

Superior Technology
Konica Minolta's `Drypro' 793 laser Imager is the latest technology winner in the Medical Division's growing range of leading `dry' lasers and CR Systems setting new standards in radiology. The unit offers unrivalled image clarity, and has a minimal pixel size of 25 um, the world's highest resolution. It is also equipped with a Web maintenance function that allows the user a PC on the same network, via a web browser. In addition, the 793 features a large LCD touch panel with menus that are intuitive and easy to navigate. It can process 120 35 x 45 cms films per hour, and has an optional 6-bin sorter. This latest in the `Drypro' range occupies less space than that of a multi-functional imager with its footprint of 675 x 640 mm (0.43 sq. meters).
