New Fluoroscopy Services Now Available at Cape Town Mediclinic Hospital
Morton & Partners Radiologists are pleased to announce the launch of a new Fluoroscopy unit at Cape Town Mediclinic Hospital, now open and accepting patient referrals.
This service expansion enhances access to advanced fluoroscopy imaging in Cape Town, supporting a wide range of diagnostic procedures with a strong focus on image quality, patient safety, and efficient clinical workflows.
State-of-the-Art Fluoroscopy Imaging in Cape Town
The new Fluoroscopy unit is powered by the Agfa DR 800 Digital Imaging Multitool, a highly versatile system designed for both fluoroscopic examinations and digital radiography. The DR 800 allows multiple imaging studies to be performed in a single room, reducing patient movement and improving turnaround times.
This upgrade supports Morton & Partners’ commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality diagnostic imaging services to referring doctors and their patients.

Integrated dose monitoring and dose-free positioning technology (Smart LiveVision) further support safe imaging practices without compromising diagnostic confidence.
Improved Patient Comfort and Accessibility
The DR 800 system has been designed with patient experience in mind. Features include a low-entry, motorised table, smooth automated positioning, and easy access for stretcher, wheelchair, and limited-mobility patients.
These design elements help ensure examinations are efficient, comfortable, and accessible for a wide range of patient needs.
