Wireless DR Panels to upgrade existing X-Ray Machines

Published on May 9, 2012 by in Uncategorized

Computed Radiography (CR) has been around for the past thirty years. With radiology departments increasingly seeking Digital X-ray Solutions that did not cost them an arm and a leg, CR had become the mainstay in the healthcare sector. It was in fact the growth of CR that laid the foundation for the Wireless X-ray Detectors of today. They first made an appearance four years ago as the Pixium Portable 3543, developed by Siemens, Philips and Thales Components as part of a joint venture. The move to wireless, which was the next step in digital radiography, saw Carestream Health release its Wireless X- ray Detector DRX-1. Then the release of the D-EVO from Fujifilm helped to bridge the price gap in this technology. In 2012 Wireless DR Panels have gained even more prominence in Healthcare facilities in the United States.   Acceptance of Wireless X-ray Detectors By this time, a handful

Introduction to Portable Flat Panel Digital X-Ray Detectors

Introduction to Portable Flat Panel Digital X-Ray Detectors    Technological advancements in the medical imaging industry have led to the introduction of revolutionary instruments like flat panels x-ray detectors. Digital radiography is steadily improving efficiency and workflow for technicians. The convenience of flat panel digital x-ray detectors was further improved with the introduction of a portable version of the same system.   How Do They Work?  Portable Flat Panel X-ray Detectors work exactly like regular detectors and process the x-rays in two distinct methods. These detectors are fitted with transistors that convert the energy from x-rays into electrical charge like digital signals. This process can be carried out directly or indirectly. While both conversion methods involve TFTs, the coated compounds differ. The direct method uses a thin film transistor coated with amorous selenium that directly converts x-ray energy into digital signals. Unlike the indirect method, this process does not consist

Benefits of Using Digital Radiography

Published on October 18, 2011 by in Uncategorized

  Managing patient information and Medical Imaging are now largely being done via digital data during various stages – acquiring, transmitting, storing, displaying, interpreting and consulting. The way data is managed in these stages can influence the quality of care provided by hospitals to patients. Medical professionals recognize that this can be facilitated by the use of Digital Radiography, a Digital X-ray imaging system which comprises of components like Flat-Panel Detectors. In addition to this, there are a few other reasons for digital radiography systems being employed in the medical field. Here are a few of them: • This system can carry out image processing in addition to computer aided detection, which is also known as CAD. Users will also have access to diagnosis algorithms that will allow for the enhancement and analysis of images. • Image data generated by the system is reliable, properly labeled and easily identifiable. •

Understanding Flat Panel Portable DR Detectors

Published on October 3, 2011 by in Uncategorized

  DR or Digital Radiography systems have ushered in workflow and operational efficiencies in day to day medical applications. They have dramatically reduced the time taken for a radiographic exposure and the transmission of this information to the radiologist who receives it as an image. Portable DR panels have brought about an increase in departmental efficiency in Hospitals and Private practice medical facilities, patient throughput and indeed the quality of care. To explain in simple words, a Portable DR panel has a transistor (which acts as the receiver) to catch and convert X-ray energy indirectly or directly to digital signals which are then available for viewing on the imaging professional’s QA(quality assurance) monitor. The image then makes it way to the medical facility’s archiving system to be interpreted by the radiologist, saved in DICOM, Jpeg, or CD/DVD format to be given to the patient, or printed. Indirect capture Digital Detectors

Konica Minolta Aero Wireless DR Flat Panel

      World’s Lightest Weight Wireless FPD    The AeroDR Wireless Flat Panel Detector is the lightest FPD in the world weighing as little as 2.9 kg (6.3 lbs) and supports wireless networking which transmits captured images to the console. Technologists can easily perform non bucky exams such as table top or cross table projections. The optimal combination of the AeroDR detector using a Konica Minolta CsI Scintillator combined with the newly developed low noise readout ICs delivers a high DQE even at a low dose. It is considered therefore that the AeroDR is effective to reduce the amount of radiation exposure. At the same time, Konica has achieved the wider dynamic range of Direct Radiography comparable to Computed Radiography. This means that in an X-Ray of shoulder joints, for example, the Konica Minolta Wireless Aero DR Panel permits describing the skin line accurately even when the radiographic conditions change
