Most importantly, our radiologists are very satisfied with the quality of the images.” beverly o’sullivan, rt(r)(ct), director of diagnostic services, Mary black Memorial Hospital, spartanburg, s.c. resources than a trauma center.” Most importantly, “our radiologists are very satisfied with the quality of the images.” O’Sullivan advises others to research how well vendors’ imaging plates perform. “I have heard that others’ plates don’t last very long, break or have a lot of artifacts.” That has not been the case for this facility. Along with that is the vendor’s service and the expertise of its team—she suggests evaluating the down time experienced by other facilities, too. For those organizations that plan to implement DR in the future, Zane recommends installing CR first. That gave the techs and radiologists a chance to become familiar with the digital equipment. Although it came with a large learning curve, “it was a nice transition,” she says. Zane says that DR alone won’t drive CR into obsolescence. One location she manages currently uses three analog machines and rather than planning to replace all three with DR, CR very well may be the more cost-effective route.
