news and info
Delivering high-quality patient care is the goal of every radiology department. But the demands of the job — growing scan volumes, less time spent with patients, complex workflows — can take a toll on staff performance and the experience of the patients you care for.
The opportunity
Our user-centric imaging technologies and scan protocols – with intelligent applications that reduce clinical variation, and as a result, the need for re-scans – can improve staff satisfaction and positively impact your patients’ experience. Our patient-first design and immersive audio and visual experiences in the imaging suite help decrease stress, discomfort and movement during scans, and offer an added benefit of differentiating your practice – for both prospective patients and employees – in a highly competitive market.
