Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater Focuses on Radiation Safety with New Endoscopy Fluoro System

Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, FL recently installed a new fluoroscopy system for its endoscopy program. The Omega E-View.AI is the most advanced interventional system available and the only ERCP fluoro system proven to reduce radiation exposure by up to 84%. This improves the radiation safety for both staff and patients.

Founded in 1916, Morton Plant Hospital was the first hospital built in northern Pinellas County. Morton Plant is known for advanced medical technologies, cutting-edge clinical research, and outstanding patient care.

Morton Plant is part of the BayCare Health System – the leading, not-for-profit healthcare system in West Central Florida. BayCare focuses on continuous process improvement and, most importantly, patient safety. All eligible BayCare hospitals, including Morton Plant, have earned the nation’s highest distinction for patient safety.

Morton Plant Endoscopy

The Omega E-View.AI offers several advantages that conventional Interventional Endoscopy systems cannot:

  • AI detects the doctor’s region of interest – allowing for hands-free operation
  • Maintains the full field of view (FOV) while delivering the highest level of image quality for the region of interest (ROI)
  • Automatically reduces radiation exposure to patients and staff by up to 84%

The E-View.AI is the only lab designed with features specifically developed for ERCP and image-guided endoscopic procedures.

  • ERCP motorized table for better patient positioning
  • Large field-of-view flat-panel detector offers superior image quality
  • Exclusive scatter radiation protection for staff
  • Pivots out of the way for full patient access and non-X-ray procedures

At BayCare, the top priority is the health and well-being of their patients and the communities they serve. As part of that effort, Morton Plant Hospital is on a continuous path of improvement to – safely – exceed future healthcare needs.
