Carestream has commenced shipping its DRX-Revolution Mobile X-Ray System and several healthcare facilities around the world who have already placed orders for this new system. The new mobile X-ray system delivers good image quality, exceptional maneuverability and rapid access to patient medical images.
The DRX-Revolution offers a solution for specific needs voiced by several radiology professionals who were involved in the product’s design. For example, a unique software tool creates companion images from the original exposure: one image is optimised to show tubes and lines so physicians can verify placement, and another optimised image accentuates the appearance of free air in the chest cavity for easier visualisation of the pneumothorax.
The DRX-Revolution’s long, extendable tube head helps radiographers easily capture X-rays despite the presence of bedside medical equipment. The system’s two monitors (the main 19-inch monitor and an 8-inch tube head monitor) allow technologists to capture and review images without moving away from the patient’s bed.
The DRX-Revolution also uses the same software and graphic user interface as other DRX products, which makes it very easy to use, improves productivity and allow technologists to use the mobile X-ray system with minimal training.
All digital X-ray systems in Carestream’s DRX family, including the DRX-Revolution, share the same DRX-1/DRX-1C wireless detector, which offers flexible positioning and image availability in less than five seconds. Carestream’s product family includes: CARESTREAM DRX-1 System, CARESTREAM DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit, CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution modular DR suite, CARESTREAM DRX-Transportable System and CARESTREAM DRX-Ascend System.
