A desktop, compact, and convenient multiapplication computed radiography (CR) system is easy to install, use, and maintain. The solution is ideal for decentralized environment and the compact design makes it suitable for smaller facilities or areas where space might be an issue.

The compact design of the CR 30-X by Agfa HealthCare's (Mortsel, Belgium), makes it suitable for smaller facilities or areas where space might be an issue. Flexible and robust, it uses proven technologies to deliver excellent and consistent image quality that users would expect in full floor-size models. The system is a tabletop CR capable of processing up to 76 plates per hour and utilizes Agfa HealthCare's NX workstation, its leading image identification, and quality control tool, enabling a smooth and efficient workflow. The CR 30-X is provided with the company's Musica2 image-processing software, the market's gold standard.

The CR 30-X digitizer integrates with local picture archiving and communication system (PACS) networks, allowing imaging professionals to maximize the value of their existing or future PACS solutions.

Agfa HealthCare, a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and healthcare information technology (IT) solutions, announced that its CR 30-X single plate CR digitizer has been ranked as the #1 single plate CR system by Klas Orem, UT, USA), a research firm specializing in monitoring and reporting the performance of healthcare vendors.

For those facilities seeking to take their first steps into digital imaging workflows, the CR 30-X digitizer is an affordable entry to digital imaging. For larger facilities, the CR 30-X can cost-effectively add remote areas to the digital network. "We are proud to have achieved Klas' top ranking for single plate CR systems,” stated Greg Cefalo, U.S. digital radiography business unit manager, Agfa HealthCare. "Our CR 30-X is one of several leading solutions in our computed radiography portfolio and the recognition we have received from Klas has once again boosted our conviction that our CR solutions are, and remain, the best-in-class.”

Agfa HealthCare, a member of the Agfa-Gevaert Group, is a leading provider of IT-enabled clinical workflow and diagnostic image management solutions, and systems for capturing and processing images in hospitals and healthcare facilities.
