Upgrading its technology was a big decision for US Signature HealthCare in Brockton, Mass. The oldest and largest in-patient hospital within its area, its ambitious upgrade program covered a lot of goals; including offering digital imaging in the emergency room and providing more tools to the people making time-sensitive clinical decisions. In rigorous field trials, one solution stood out, offering not only the specifications the hospital wanted but also visibly different image quality: the Agfa HealthCare DX-D 100. And that was just the start!
