      Hi,
      This is really difficult to answer. Different departments will have different equipment. A rough idea is to estimate and account for the number of computers within a hospital as all of our modern diagnostic kit is computer based. A publication based on a hospital in London states they have up to 10,800 computers so this could offer an estimate.
