Jacksonville, FL -Viztek recently received a large project for multiple u-arm, single, and dual detector DR units at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush (MOR). The multi-specialty orthopedic facility has offices in Chicago, IL.
All of Viztek’s DR configurations offer high quality images within seconds of exposure. The easy-to-use interface makes patient positioning quick and easy allowing the most frequently used positions to be saved and easily accessible. The DR offers many time-saving features that result in superior image-quality and increased practice throughput.
The u-arm, ideal for rooms with space constraints, allows for freedom to maneuver the hardware for optimal flexibility for patient examinations; patients can be standing, sitting or in the lying position. The system is designed to constantly maintain alignment between the x-ray tube and the image receptor, regardless of the angle of the image receptor or the u-arm tilt positions. Advances safety features include an intuitive anti-collision system that makes patient positioning quick, easy, and safe.
The dual and single configuration DR units have auto-positioning and auto-tracking for the easiest possible patient positioning. Equally as versatile and flexible as the u-arm, with the dual detector’s vertical and horizontal displacements, the overhead tube crane can cover almost all the volume of the room in which it is installed.
With over 30 physicians at MOR, the digital x-ray solutions implemented by Viztek at MOR’s multiple facilities have dramatically increased the workflow efficiency.
MOR, who was featured in Chicago Magazine’s January 2009 issue of “Top Doctors” for the eight straight year, has also been ranked among the best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report’s ‘Best Hospitals,’ for multiple years.
