Wash. center taps Toshiba for cardiac cath imaging

Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton, Wash., has installed three Infinix-i vascular x-ray systems from Toshiba America Medical Systems. The systems allow the center to use radial access for nearly all cases.

Harrison Medical Center uses three different Infinix-i systems, including Toshiba’s Infinix DP-i dual plane system. Designed to perform both cardiac and vascular procedures in one room, Infinix DP-i features dual C-arms–one with an 8" x 8" flat panel detector for cardiac and one with a 12" x 16" flat panel detector for peripheral–enabling Harrison Medical Center to perform any type of intervention with one system without moving patients between rooms, according to Tustin, Calif.-based Toshiba.
