Heartland Regional Medical Center of St Joseph, Mo, will install six CARESTREAM DRX-1 systems, five CARESTREAM DRX-mobile retrofit kits, and two CARESTREAM DRX-evolution systems.

The new Carestream purchases will enable the medical center to convert its radiology exam rooms and mobile x-ray imaging systems from CR to digital radiography (DR). It will use the wireless, cassette-size DRX-1 detectors in existing mobile x-ray systems that serve ER and OR suites and the main radiology department. DRX-1 detectors also will provide image capture for general radiology rooms and a new fluoroscopy room.
The hospital will install a DRX-evolution system with two detectors in its 45-room ER.

The health system has earned numerous awards for its excellence in patient care including a 2009 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, according to the release.
