Agfa HealthCare's MUSICA image processing technology is compatible with all DR products and delivers excellent quality images
(AHRA 2014, Booth #501) Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) announced today that the hospital is upgrading to direct radiography (DR) through Agfa HealthCare's Digital Radiography Upgrade Program. The unique cost structure of the Digital Radiography Upgrade Program allows LLUMC to transition its computed radiography (CR) technologies to Agfa HealthCare's market-leading DR technologies thereby increasing exam efficiency and improving the patients' experience.
LLUMC's Digital Radiography Upgrade Program will include the installation of 11 DX-D Retrofit systems to convert existing CR-based radiography rooms to completely digital systems, and five wireless DX-D 100 mobile DR systems.
Unique cost structure made DR upgrade possible
"The benefits of DR technology, including better quality images at low doses and faster X-ray processing, are well known within the radiology department at LLUMC. For us it was not a question of if we wanted to upgrade to DR but instead a question of how we could upgrade and when we would have the financial means to do so," commented R. Todd Thall, System Manager for Diagnostic Radiology, LLUMC. "Agfa HealthCare's Digital Radiography Upgrade Program has made it possible for us to sustain our existing financial model while proactively upgrading to the best technology available for our patients. Our transition to DR is literally paying for itself."
"Patient engagement, comfort, and satisfaction have greatly increased as a result of our upgrade to DR," remarked Aimee Gallegos, RT, Interim Manager Pediatric Radiology, LLUMC. "The radiologist is now able to view the X-ray image seconds after the exposure is made. If any additional images or modifications are needed we are easily able to adjust the patient, eliminating the discomfort and time necessary to take additional X-rays after the originals have been processed and determined to be insufficient. We see better staff efficiency and significant time saving with the new DR products. In addition, the reduction in dose exposure that switching to DR has brought us is a significant benefit to our patients."
