St John's Hospital Receives First MAMMOMAT Inspiration In The UK

St John's Hospital in Livingston, part of NHS Lothian's University Hospitals Division, has installed the first Siemens new generation full-field digital mammography system in the UK.

Part of the 9 system order via the Scottish Procurement Framework, the MAMMOMAT Inspiration was recently designed with the input of healthcare professionals to create an easy-to-operate and patient-friendly system. Offering quick exposure and display times, the MAMMOMAT Inspiration speeds up patient throughput and provides detailed digital images for diagnosis.

The St John's Hospital installation has replaced an old analogue system, meaning that examination times are now shorter and deliver improved departmental efficiency. The introduction of a digital system has also eliminated the need for processing chemistry and traditional X-ray film.
