Digital Portablemania

By John Picard, FACHE, MPA, BSHA, RT(R)

During the month of September 2007, the SHC Radiology Department received delivery of two digital portable x-ray units courtesy of the SHC Emergency Department. These digital units have a screen integrated into the control panel that permits the viewing of images immediately after exposure. While the learning curve for this cutting-edge technology was longer than anticipated, the machines are now in full use. These machines are the first of their kind at SHC and will be used primarily to expedite patient care in the SHC ER. The SHC Radiology Department is very thankful and proud of the partnership with the SHC ER that enabled the acquisition of this technology.
