East Surrey Hospital, Redhill and Crawley Hospital have each acquired two Toshiba Aplio MX systems; the systems at East Surrey will be used in the Obstetrics Department at the Hospital and the systems at Crawley are for use in the Maternity Department. Both hospitals are part of the Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.

The Aplio MX, which was selected for image quality and ease of use, is Toshiba’s latest addition to its highly successful Aplio range, sharing its core imaging architecture, as well as its transducers, with the Aplio XG. Focused on clinical efficiency, it features a host of advanced imaging functions to provide unprecedented image clarity to the user. The system is very lightweight and easy to move and incorporates a complete set of innovations designed for better ergonomics, operator comfort and productivity. Its fully programmable user interface, as well as its adjustable main panel and 19" monitor with articulating arm, allows sonographers to configure their work environment in the most optimal way, according to clinical needs and preferences.

Stuart Mills, General Manager, Toshiba Ultrasound, says, "We are delighted that both Crawley Hospital and Easy Surrey chose the Aplio MX. Both hospitals are very close to our head office at Crawley and it’s good to do business with local institutions."
