About DR

DIRECT RADIOGRAPHY

DR replaces your entire analog imaging suite with a digital image capture system. These systems can be provided in a variety of configurations such as C- or U-arm systems with integrated x-ray source and detector, or floor mounted detectors capable of multi-planar movement together with an overhead x-ray tube, or movable digital detectors. More recent advances include wireless DR plates that can be utilized with existing radiology equipment. With DR there is no more need for cassettes or plates, thus improving productivity and patient throughput for your x-ray suite.

Benefits of DR

• Replaces film, chemistry and plates with a direct capture imaging system improving patient throughput and productivity
• Because of its improved patient throughput capability, facilities can usually increase the total amount of patients examined in one room, possibly eliminating the need for a second x-ray suite.
• DR systems provide excellent image quality and can possibly reduce patient exam dose.
• Softcopy images can be manipulated for optimum image quality and stored on PACS.
• It reduces the need for repeat exams caused by poor exposure or lost exams.

In summary,DR

• Replaces your analog x-ray suite with a digital image system
• Improves patient throughput
• Is suitable for large/busy x-ray facilities
