Dear all,
Currently we are in the process of putting together a procurement list for a new ED. The originals plans/provisions were for an x-ray gantry in resus but our radiography service manager would rather have a digital mobile machine. The radiology argument is that a mobile machine would be easier to use and offer a greater scope of x-rays that could be done as portables. I'm not a radiographer so I find it hard to find a reason to prefer the gantry option beyond the aesthetic appearance of the machine.
Has anybody else on the list had this debate about gantry v portable?
Regards
