  • 1.  Bedisde Imaging as a routine practice in hospital

    Posted 06-19-2012 02:12 PM

    I would like to know of any hospitals that are routinely performing diagnostic bedside imaging.  What types of portable xray, CT, etc. they are using.  Also what precautions in way of shielding patient rooms have been implemented.

    I have only seen ICU patients, where there are too many tubes and wires and life support during transport would be a problem, imaged at bedside.
