Leicester Mammography Upgrade Goes Live

Radiology News - Mammography

UHL MammoThe digital transformation of the mammography services at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL) has taken another leap forward as Asteral installed two key upgrades at Glenfi eld Hospital.

Asteral has installed two Hologic Selenia FFDM units at Glenfi eld with the fi rst going live in March and the second in May. These installations complement the two GE units already installed by Asteral and mean that all four rooms at UHL’s Breast Care Centre at Glenfi eld Hospital are now completely digital.

Darren Woolley, Asteral’s General Manager at Leicester, who oversaw the procurement and installation for Asteral said, “UHL’s decision to upgrade their entire mammography service was accompanied by a clear brief to deliver equipment that would give much improved image quality and deliver a reliable service. Because we are vendor neutral, the Trust was able to choose from a range of manufacturers to get the best solution to fi t their requirements so they could concentrate on achieving the highest quality care effi ciently and reliably.”

Dr Elizabeth Denton, Clinical Director of Breast Screening said “the new digital equipment will signifi cantly enhance the quality of service we offer, improving diagnostic accuracy through much sharper and more detailed images and possibly allowing us to reduce patients’ exposure to radiation.

Asteral’s Managed Equipment Services played a major part in delivering this upgrade which will ensure a better service for patients and bring UHL Breast Imaging into the 21st century”. The fi nal stage in UHL’s digital transformation will be the provision of three new mobile digital breast screening trailers also equipped with Hologic Selenia FFDM units scheduled for delivery later this autumn. This will take Leicester to the cutting edge of cancer diagnostics consistent with the latest guidance from the DH and Advisory Committee on Breast Cancer Screening to move away from analogue to entirely digital mammography.
