When did smart phones change from ‘gadgets’ to ‘necessities’? Over the past decade, innovation has come fast and furious, changing even basic necessities about how we live. What’s next? Self-driving cars, 3D printers, wearable technology and so much more are all leaving the realm of spy movies and science fiction, and pushing for a space in our very homes.
In healthcare, too, innovations are making a difference. But they can’t simply reflect technological evolutions; they have to answer real needs. Like the DR 600 ceiling suspended X-ray room, with its ZeroForce and EasyStitch technologies – innovations that make complex imaging problems simple.
ZeroForce Technology, makes all movements of the tube head, wall stand and table in all different directions, quick and require almost zero effort. Easier operability means a faster workflow and increased staff comfort. Overall, your imaging workflow is smoother and more efficient. Auto-positioning technology, fully-automated tracking and manual positioning option makes this unit indispensable for your emergency rooms.
Controlling and reducing patient radiation exposure during imaging is a priority. Offering a choice of fixed, tethered and wireless detectors with Cesium Iodide (CsI) or Gadolinium Oxy-Sulphide (GOS) technology, ably supported by leading-edge ‘Automatic Exposure Control’ using high-speed accuracy and collimators with ‘Dose Area Product meter’, the DR 600 optimises and automatically reports x-ray doses.
‘Automatic EasyStitch technology’ makes your Full Leg/ Full Spine (FLFS) imaging both simpler and more precise. Based on fully automated single focus technology, it minimises distortions for high-precision FLFS imaging.
Innovative tube head design features a touch screen control panel with image preview, as well as an integrated soft console on the MUSICA viewing station. The MUSICA workflow provides quick previews that reduce time between exposures.
We’ve incorporated these new technologies right into our high-productivity DR 600, which offers comfort and speed with precision! This multi-detector, high-throughput DR will streamline your imaging workflow, increase your throughput and enhance the experience of your patients.
In fact, everything about the DR 600 takes the newest technologies —robotisation, automation and integration – and puts them to the practical use of helping you enhance your imaging and delivery of patient care!
Agfa HealthCare firmly believes that “The diagnosis is in the details”. After all, what is the point of innovation, if it doesn’t improve our lives?
