Presently, the majority of imaging products on the market fail
to generate critical information at a fast enough speed. To enhance
the chances of survival for trauma patients, emergency centres
require equipment supplying top-quality information in the least
amount of time possible. Lodox’s Statscan is a flexible format
digital radiography (DR) system, specifically designed to meet the
needs of emergency medical centres, as well as the radiography
needs of both trauma and emergency patients. The system uniquely
provides a complete, head-to-toe summary of patient injuries, at an
increasingly faster rate than before, while avoiding any
interference with patient stability.
“The Statscan ensures easy access to the patient at an extremely
low radiation dose so that the ER staff can continue to provide
critical life support,” says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst
Ishe Zingoni. “The entire body is scanned, minimizing unnecessary
manoeuvering and quickly picking up multiple injuries that do not
always show up in conventionally-sized x-rays.”
For triage, and in disaster situations, the radiography-friendly
Statscan is able to handle multiple patients more efficiently than
competing modalities. Positive outcomes are enhanced, not only for
patients, but also for ER staff, who are subject to extreme stress
when having to make less-informed decisions wi
