Equipment Installations

Z&Z Medical recently upgraded the x-ray and digital imaging equipment at the MercyOne Clinic in LaPorte City, IA. We removed old Universal x-ray equipment and a Carestream CR reader. This equipment was replaced with a new imaging suite by Del Medical. Included was an elevating table, high frequency generator with AEC and a DelWorks digital DR imaging system. The room was modified to make it larger and facilitate better workflow and quicker throughput. The upgrade to DR gives the clinic staff much quicker radiographs, improved resolution and lower patient dose. Lead radiology tech Ashley Hutton reported that “the install went well, and the new equipment is working well”. It was a pleasure working with Ashley and her staff to provide the equipment and results they expected from our company.

Z&Z Medical would like to thank the people at MercyOne for choosing and entrusting us to provide them with a quality system that will fill their imaging needs for many years to come.

In August 2019, Dr Neal deBuhr contacted our office to inquire about purchasing x-ray equipment for his new Chiropractic office that would be opening in Cedar Falls, IA since his graduation from Palmer Chiropractic College. He had secured an office in a new development that was still under construction. His timing was perfect because the room was not yet constructed which allowed us to work with his architect and contractor on the details of the x-ray layout. After completing some CAD drawings and working with Dr deBuhr, we all agreed on a layout and the equipment that would be needed to take Gonstad full spine digital x-rays and view them in his office and various locations in his practice. Unfortunately for Dr deBuhr there were many, many delays in the construction of the new building. This was painful for him as a new Chiropractor just out of college. He was anxious to get his new practice started but he could do nothing but watch and wait while the construction process seemed to move at a snail’s pace. I must say, Dr deBuhr is a very patient man and finally in April 2020 construction was complete and he was ready to get started.

Z&Z Medical installed a new high frequency x-ray system by Summit Industries for the production of x-rays. We als installed a 17x17 removable cesium direct digital DR imaging system by 20/20 Imaging with OpalRad software for image manipulation, storage and viewing. The install went quite smoothly and in no time his practice was open and ready for new patients. Dr deBuhr recently stated to his rep from Z&Z Medical that “He is very satisfied with the new equipment and installation”. Because of this satisfaction, “He has recommended Z&Z to other colleagues”. Complete customer satisfaction is what we strive to achieve with each customer and it’s always nice to know when we get that done right.

I received a phone call a few weeks ago from a local Chiropractor that was looking into adding x-ray to her practice. She hasn’t had x-ray in over 20 years but she saw some digital x-rays that were taken by Dr deBuhr and her comment to me was “Those were the best x-rays I had ever seen”. Another testimony about the quality of equipment that we are able to provide our customers at an affordable price.

Now is the time to look into digital conversion so you too can say, “Those are the best x-rays I have ever seen”.

We at Z&Z Medical hear these same comments all the time from customers that convert from film to digital imaging. Just like Dr Van Hemert, they too are amazed at how quickly and easily it is to take an x-ray and manipulate the image to produce amazing results for diagnostic viewing. The software is very easy to learn and very forgiving in those situations when the image would normally be unacceptable with out-of-date analog equipment. The time saving over analog allows the Dr to spend more time with their patients and less time trying to achieve an acceptable x-ray. This all adds up to better patient care and higher throughput for the doctor.

Z&Z Medical recently sold and installed a new digital x-ray DR from 20/20 Imaging and OparlRad software at Van Hemert Chiropractic Family Wellness Center in Pella, Iowa.  Dr Russell Van Hemert upgraded his practice from an analog film/cassette-based system with an automatic film processor to the newest version of cesium DR flat panel technology. He chose a 17x17 removable panel to allow upright and horizontal imaging with very little effort. After using the new equipment for a couple months, Dr Van Hemert had this to say about the system, “I am very satisfied with the new digital equipment. Because the software is so easy to use and manipulate images, it allows more margin for error. I am especially satisfied with the fact that I am able to take more images in less time than film and wet processing took”

Z&Z Medical recently sold and installed a New 17x17 flat panel Cesium DR by 20/20 Imaging with OpalView Chiropractic software with automatic stitching and cloud based disaster recovery at Betterton Chiropractic in Vinton, Iowa. Dr Betterton was frustrated with film based processing technology and all the cost and headaches associated with analog image processing. Z&Z Medical has serviced his x-ray and film processing equipment for many years and he wanted to continue to use our reliable and rapid service with new digital equipment.

Z&Z Medical recently sold and installed a New Digital X-ray Unit with DR from 20/20 Imaging with OpalRad software at Eberline Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Grundy Center, Iowa.  While completing the calibration to the unit, Dr Eberline stopped by and thanked us for finally getting him to go digital!  He said, “It’s already been well worth the money I’ve spent and the best part of upgrading to digital X ray is the resulting improvement in the quality of care I can give my patients.  I am able to get better images more quickly for my patients.  I wish I had done it years ago.  We have taken more images so far in 2021 than we did all of last year.”

We at Z&Z Medical often hear hesitation from our customers to convert to digital for financial reasons. It is most often the case that months later we hear that they wish they had done it sooner. As with Dr Eberline, most of them admit that they take far more x-rays now then when they had analog imaging. The time saving over analog makes it far easier and more convenient to take an x-ray if they have any hesitation about the patients physical condition. Plus the image quality is always sharp and very dependable, as opposed to film and old chemicals.
