Carestream Health has delivered its DRX-Evolution Plus digital radiography (DR) system to SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital in Lake Saint Louis, MO.
The hospital installed a wall stand on a rail with a fixed DRX detector, while a DRX Plus 3543 detector is used in the table and for tabletop exams, according to the vendor. The DRX-Evolution Plus installation is one of the first in the U.S., Carestream said.
An existing x-ray system was also retrofitted with a DRX-1 detector. Carestream said that the hospital had previously installed a DRX-Revolution mobile x-ray system with a DRX-1 detector for general radiography and a DRX 2530C cesium iodide digital detector for use in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit.
