# New x-ray equipment reduces radiation
Albemarle Hospital's Radiology
Department has recently installed
new intensifying screens and has
changed the type of X-ray film it
uses, thus reducing the radiation
exposure to the patients by SO
percent.
According to Bob Carson, director
of radiology services at Albemarle
Hospital, this technology has been
available for some time, but
drawbacks existed with respect to
loss of detail.
"Recent enhancements enable us
to use a super speed X-ray film with
no loss of detail" said Carson.
In addition to reducing radiation
exposure to patients, maintenance of
the x-ray equipment should be less
costly, said Carson, because the load
placed , on the X-ray tube is also
reduced by SO percent.
