[More] Star of Excellence Winners Category: General Posted by: bob THREE IHC CLIENTS WIN STAR OF EXCELLENCE AWARDS [More] Vulcan Fort Payne Award Category: General Posted by: bob Vulcan's Fort Payne Quarry Receives Honor Award [More] IHC Announces Newest Addition to X-Ray Fleet Category: General Posted by: admin The Industrial Health Council has just taken delivery on a mobile x-ray truck that employs the most up-to-date digital image capturing, display and storing equipment available. Housed in a module designed to be comfortable for both techs and clients, but space efficient as well, the new unit sits on a 2009 Kenworth T270 chassis that is equipped with air ride suspension that softens the ride and reduces the likelihood of equipment damage. As in with our other units this one is set up to do more than just x-rays. We will be able to provide EKGs, PFTs or other tests while x-rays are being performed. While the truck and module are impressive the most important aspect is the capabilities of the digital equipment. This equipment will allow us to process x-rays in less than half the time of the analog units and without liquid chemicals and the bulky processor. Once processed, the images can be transferred electronically to our physician for interpretation and reporting, greatly reducing the turnaround time for reports. This capability will also reduce the time needed to send copies of x-rays to an individual's personal physician. We will be able to start using this unit immediately for our clients who don't require a "B Reader" interpretation and report. We are expecting the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approval of standards for digital images for "B Readers" within the next few months and will then be able to use this unit for all types of x-rays. At that point at least one of our other units will be converted to digital equipment. We invite you to take a look at a few pictures of the truck we have attached. If you have any questions please give us a call at 205-326-4109 or send an email to rmorrow@i-h-c.org Overweight and Injury Category: General Posted by: bob Does Being Overweight Lead to More Injuries?
