At the nationally recognized University of Vermont Medical Center (UVM), Philips radiography solutions have been a reliable support for staff and patients over the years. Recently, the new Philips Radiography 7000 M premium mobile X-ray system has been put into action. Ryan Liberty explains the system is among the most innovative machines he has encountered in his twenty-year career. With its excellent mobility and portability, intuitive interface, and adaptable tube head for challenging angles, the Philips Radiography 7000 M facilitates quick and high-quality radiographic imaging.
When I bring the newer portable into a room and I have to get a very difficult angle on a patient, this machine is just beyond anything I've ever experienced in my 20 year career.
Radiography 7000 M’s lead-free lithium-ion battery allows fast charging and long-lasting power with 2.5 times more battery capacity [1] to keep the system ready to use throughout a shift. It can be fully charged from 0% to 100% in 4 hours, with 80% capacity available in 2.5 hours. Aaron Wilson, Lead Diagnostic X-Ray Technologist at UVM, explains the mobile system is a game changer and keeps his team running efficiently throughout their shifts.

The batteries on the new mobile have been able to last throughout my entire shift of almost eight hours, which is amazing.
Morgan Trombley, Diagnostic X-ray Technologist and Fluoroscopy Specialist at UVM, finds the Radiography 7000 M’s capacitive touch handles, advanced collision sensors, and light weight, make it easy to move quickly into tight spaces. The fine system position adjustments can be made right at the Eleva tube head, as well as the friendly graphics on the outside of the system make the imaging experience more inviting to patients.
I've been driving the new portable around and everybody thinks it's really cute. They really like the design of it. It’s not as intimidating, so people aren't as nervous.
Philips Radiography 7000 M is a premium mobile radiography solution designed to enable exceptional system availability, easy navigation, and effortless positioning. It allows access to virtually all areas of the hospital for fast and effective patient care.
