Long-time Barco customer Columbia Asia recently installed Barco's cutting-edge Nio Color 2MP diagnostic display systems across its radiology service at its flagship hospital in Bangalore, India. The Nio Color 2MP is equipped with Barco's patented Uniform Luminance Technology for LED displays (ULT-LED), attuned to its high-bright LED backlight, and a Nio front-of-screen sensor. Both new features further enhance image quality and diagnostic accuracy, and help reduce the total cost of ownership.

Visible trust

With a total of 25 medical facilities spread across India, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia, Columbia Asia is one of Asia's most renowned hospital groups. Targeting the fast-growing middle income group, the company maintains high quality standards for patients as well as the medical equipment they purchase.

Since 2009, the hospital group has been working with display solutions from Barco, including the Nio 2MP, Nio 5MP and Eonis clinical displays. "In all those years, never once have we been let down," says Dr Harsha Chadaga, Head Clinical Operations.

Strategic solution

Columbia Asia decided to upgrade its diagnostic display fleet in Bangalore, India. They selected the Nio Color 2MP diagnostic display system. Thanks to their unique front-of-screen sensor, the displays guarantee consistent and precise images at all times, which, in turn, enables confident diagnoses. This, in addition to their low power consumption levels, makes them perfect for Columbia Asia's long-term strategy to increase productivity and quality of care while keeping costs as low as possible.

"Considering our excellent experience with Barco over the years, the decision to partner up again was quite logical for us," adds Dr Shalini Govil, Chief Radiologist & Quality Controller. "Barco has shown tremendous engagement and excellent follow-up."
