Last month, Flushing Hospital Medical Center (FHMC) cut the ribbon to its newest radiology suite which will house one of the most clinically advanced and fully automated, digital X-ray systems in health care.
The recently acquired Samsung GC85 system is equipped with features that provide several benefits to patients and radiologists. This new system improves patient experience by reducing examination time and minimizing excessive radiation exposure while obtaining enhanced imaging. Radiologists and technicians are capable of diagnosing patients with greater accuracy by utilizing applications that will streamline workflow through automation.
The GC85 system is also outfitted with a unit that is portable and dedicated to pediatric imaging. It can operate in smaller imaging spaces such as a pediatric hospital bed or bassinet when caring for the hospital’s youngest of patients.
Gregory Donaldson, Associate Director of Radiology at FHMC stated, “The new advanced system will give us the opportunity to take enhanced images of our patients, both adult and pediatric. It is less imposing on the patient and allows for a better experience.”
Flushing Hospital Medical Center strives to provide quality health care to the community it serves. With a focus on safety, the hospital utilizes the latest and most innovative tools in healthcare to diagnose and treat patients.
