New X-Ray machine for Isles of Scilly

The first of its kind to be installed in the UK, the Phillips Essenta DR compact digital radiography system allows the images to be instantly shared with specialists on the mainland. Compact and easy to use, the state of the art equipment can be used for a variety of examinations.

Peninsula Community Health locality manager Clive Acraman said: “One of the key reasons for selecting the Philips equipment identified through a rigorous procurement procedure was its small footprint; the room in the community hospital presents a spacial challenge and the Philips system met the brief perfectly. This is amazing new equipment for any site and a very valuable investment for St Mary’s Hospital.”
