Carestream Health has unveiled the third generation of its DRX Plus flat-panel digital radiography (DR) detectors with additional features to boost productivity and image quality.
The Carestream DRX Plus 3543 detector is designed for general radiography, while the DRX Plus 3543C cesium iodide detector targets pediatric and other dose-sensitive applications, the company said.
The two detectors offer higher detective quantum efficiency (DQE) for better image quality and lower dose, and they can be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes without failure, Carestream said. They are also lighter and thinner for easier handling.
The new detectors have received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are available in the U.S. and Europe. They will be available in other countries pending regulatory approvals.
