Arnold Palmer Hospital is First to Receive New FDA-Approved X-ray Imaging Technology
Date:10/28/2011

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children is the first hospital in the United States to receive innovative new x-ray imaging technology that decreases radiation exposure to young patients and produces high-quality images.

The system, manufactured by Siemens, is called Luminos Agile and received approval from the Food and Drug Administration in June 2011.

A key feature on the Luminos Agile system is a large flat-panel detector that enables physicians to examine an image that is up to 117 percent larger than images generated by older technology. A larger image allows physicians to examine a wider area of the anatomy without repositioning the patient – reducing scan times and radiation dose.

Luminos Agile delivers a package of features designed to increase patient comfort and enhance efficiency in the exam room. It offers the flexibility of a table that adjusts height from 25 inches to 44 inches to easily accommodate children and patients with mobility challenges. The adjustable table also has a weight capacity of 600 pounds and a 24-inch wide opening to provide easy access for bariatric and immobile patients. It is the first to combine these features with an operator console positioned directly on the system and not in another room, which improves patient experience and operating convenience for the staff.

"X-ray imaging technology is very important to the treatment we provide for so many of our young patients, especially those here for our cardiology, gastroenterology, and orthopedic services," states Susan Smith, M.D., Chair, Department of Radiology at Arnold Palmer Medical Center. "This system has the advanced features we need to provide our patients the highest-quality care in the safest possible environment."
