Susan Coyle Radiology Services Manager in GUH commented

“We are delighted to have taken delivery of our new Shimadzu Mobile EFX DaRt from HSL (Hospital Services Ltd) This system will make a massive difference within our hospital in term of image quality, reduced dose and higher patient throughput. The system will be predominantly based in the ICU unit where we will now have the ability to acquire Digital images within 2 seconds. This is a fantastic advantage compared to our older systems as the Consultants can view the images at the bedside if needed. This system is also wireless so the images can be sent straight to PAC once they have been taken. With the complex nature of patients in ICU the fact that we now have a Wireless DR detector means that there will be less patient movement which is always positive.”

The Breastcheck Western Unit in Galway installed three Hologic Selenia Dimensions 8000 Mammography system from Hospital Services about two years ago, and have never looked back. The systems have been a huge success utilising the advanced features such as Tomography, C-View synthesized 2D images and Tomo Biopsy.

The Breastcheck Western Unit in Galway have now install the latest Affirm Prone Biopsy table.

Dr Catherine Glynn, consultant radiologist at the Galway Breastcheck Unit commented: We have recently installed the new Affirm Prone Biopsy table as a replacement for our previous prone table. The addition of the facility of  tomosynthesis for prone biopsies and also the lateral arm facility on the prone table are very useful additions to the Unit and will facilitate our ability to work up and biopsy lesions, such as, for example, calcifications in very thin breasts, which previously would have been more challenging to biopsy stereotactically. The layout and technical features of the table are are user friendly and straightforward.

“We have used the Medrad Spectra Solaris MRI injector pump from HSL (Hospital Services Ltd) for the last 12 years and have been extremely happy with the system, its reliability and the after sales service. From Galway Clinic’s perspective, it made sense to continue with the Medrad/HSL solution and we have not been disappointed with our new MRXperion MRI injector. This system has additional functionalities and provides improved infection control features and patient safety functions.”
