Download: The patient factor: Imaging beyond the scan
Learn about:
The experience and comfort of patients in the imaging suite can have a real and tangible impact on multiple areas of the department. Patient movement, for example, can have a domino effect: non-diagnostic-quality images lead to re-scanning; re-scans delay patient diagnosis and hamper department throughput; and both staff and patient incur stress in the process.
By focusing on the people behind the images, we aim to improve the quality of imaging outcomes. Specially designed equipment that makes procedures more comfortable and pleasant for the patient, analytics that properly manage radiation exposure, and advanced technologies that help deliver the right image the first time: All help give patients a more positive feeling about their care and treatment and empower staff to put patients first.
