“Ysio with wi-D can instantly reduce the physical strain on staff and the anxiety experienced by patients,” says Nigel Hickey, Product Specialist for X-ray systems at Siemens Healthcare. “It is a superb system that is already making a significant impact at Hythe Hospital and we are delighted to see the positive results.” Ysio at Hythe Hospital replaced a 15-year-old X-ray system. Radiographers have quickly noticed its operational vantages. In particular the ease-of-use and reduced physical strain and stress on radiographers have been noted. Ysio can be automatically positioned into more than 500 different positions according to the set anatomical program. Movements of the tube and detector replicate each other and even if the radiographer moves the tube manually, it is light, flexible, and easy to manoeuvre. This turned out to be a significant benefit at Hythe Hospital, where the X-ray room is a single-handed post imaging over 30 people a day.
