Texas hospital adds Toshiba x-ray systems

Memorial Hermann Healthcare System has installed five Infinix-i vascular x-ray systems from Toshiba America Medical Systems.

The Texas-based hospital will implement the Infinix-i systems so cardiologists can institute the radial approach for cardiovascular interventional procedures. The design of the five-axis C-arm movement facilitates the radial approach, as it allows clinicians to access the patient from either side, move the C-arm and situate the monitors and control panel to meet the needs of the interventional team, according to the Tustin, Calif.-based provider of diagnostic imaging systems.
