Digital Radiography Systems and Software Solution Upgrades Announced

The upgrades include a single clinical portal that features a patient-centric overview of patient information from inside and outside a hospital, and a unified Enterprise Imaging for Radiology platform including a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), and new features such as support for teaching files, a task-based workflow for residents and supervisors, and multidisciplinary team meetings.

The updates are being showcased by Agfa HealthCare (Mortsel, Belgium) at the 2016 European Congress of Radiology (ECR; Vienna Austria). Agfa will also show the multi-detector DR 600 X-Ray room, and DX-D 100+ fully-mobile Digital Radiography (DR) system, and upgrades for the MUSICA CR/DR image processing platform.

The DR 600 system features auto-positioning with Agfa ZeroForce Technology, auto-tracking; and wireless, tethered, or fixed Cesium Iodide (CsI) or Gadolinium Oxy-Sulphide (GOS) detectors, with potential for dose reduction using the CsI detectors. The DX-D 100+ uses Agfa FreeView maneuverability, full mobility, and improved navigation, MUSICA image processing, and a collapsible telescopic arm.

Hans Vandewyngaerde, president EMEA, Agfa HealthCare, said, “Looking forward to visualize the future of imaging, Agfa HealthCare is building on the firm foundation of its past: 100+ years of experience. We are using that experience to find new, innovative ways to answer the evolving challenges faced by healthcare providers, both with solutions for creating images and the IT systems that allow them to collaborate, exchange, and manage those images, to achieve integrated care.”
