Miss Jcisie Borrie, chief radiographer at Christchurch Hospital, examines some of the last of the . many thousands of X-ray plates for which she has been responsible in the /last 25-years; She will retire next week.
When Miss Borrie began work as a radiographer after training at Dunedin Hospital in the late 19405, it took up to 90 minutes to process one X-ray plate.. Now most are processed in 90 seconds and
without the messy former process of hand “wet tank” methods.
, Miss Borrie has played an important role in choosing more than $1 million worth of new equipment used in the hospital’s X-ray department which opened three years ago. She has also been closely involved in planning for the department’s newest addition — the $1.2 million body scanner which is expected to be in use by the end of March next year.
