This Ridgefield Park, NJ, company will use the RSNA show to launch a new computed radiography system that incorporates several new technologies in storage phosphor-based image acquisition.
First introduced at the French national radiology conference in October, DX-S employs Agfa's DirectriX needle-based detector technology, while Scanhead is another new technique that uses new line-to-line CR simulation and light collection technology.
Using the technologies together gives DX-S increased image quality and throughput, with reduced waiting times for CR cassettes and faster access to digital images, according to Agfa. The system has a nominal throughput of 120 plates an hour, with a throughput of 180 plates per hour after patient demographic data release.
The system was designed specifically for decentralized and in-room use in general radiography, pediatric, and emergency room environments.
