MELVILLE, N.Y., March 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtual
Imaging, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is
proud to announce that Eastern Florida State College has selected
the RadPRO1® URS Universal Radiography System and the
RadPRO ELITE XM Overhead/Ceiling Mounted Digital Radiography
System, each equipped with a Canon CXDI Wireless Detector, for its
educational needs at its new Health Sciences Institute on its
Melbourne campus. Hands-on
learning is a valuable tool that can simulate clinical environments
and help radiography students develop the proper skill and
technique to operate radiography equipment that may otherwise not
be gained from a classroom environment alone.
The Radiography Program at Eastern Florida State College trains
students for careers as technologists in diagnostic radiography,
and requires robust and reliable imaging solutions to train its
students to perform the technical procedures required to produce
X-ray studies for the diagnosis of disease and injury. With many of
its radiography students familiar with RadPRO digital radiography
systems used at local hospitals, the college chose the RadPRO URS
Universal Radiography System and RadPRO ELITE XM Overhead/Ceiling
Mounted Digital Radiography Systems to provide its students with
hands-on training to instill and refine key skills such as patient
positioning.
"One mission of the Radiography Program at Eastern Florida State
College is to meet the needs of the students by offering quality
instruction using theory and performance-based instruction, which
will enable the student to graduate with the necessary skills to
succeed as a radiographer. Accordingly, in introducing our new
educational facility, it was important that we chose radiography
systems that were not only trusted by local healthcare
organizations, but were also very reliable, high-quality digital
radiography systems that could help our educators provide students
with quality instruction," said Sandra
Lanza, Radiography Program Clinical Coordinator, Eastern
Florida State College.
"Experiential learning can assist students in preparing for
real-world circumstances, helping to position them for success in
clinical environments. We are proud that Eastern Florida State
College chose to purchase two RadPRO radiographic solutions to
enrich the training of radiology students," said Tsuneo Imai, vice president and general manager,
Healthcare Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc. and president, Virtual Imaging,
Inc.
