Carestream Health of Rochester, NY, has launched a new integrated digital radiography (DR) suite based on its DRX-1 wireless digital radiography detector.
DRX-Evolution enables Carestream customers to combine the DRX-1 detector with the company's Kodak DirectView DR 7500 system. DRX-Evolution is designed to offer the positioning flexibility of a cassette-sized detector with the rapid workflow of a fully automated DR suite, the company said.
By installing a DRX-1 system, healthcare providers can upgrade an existing x-ray room to DR technology without the need to retrofit existing x-ray equipment. The DRX-Evolution then makes it possible to take a stepwise approach to a fully featured single- or dual-detector DR suite as needed, according to Carestream.
DRX-Evolution features include both a wall stand with an extending tilt and swing bucky and a fixed elevating table. An autopositioning capability moves the equipment to predefined positions with a press of a button, and the system includes the same touchscreen operator interface as other computed radiography and DR systems from Carestream.
