AGFA-GEVAERT : Agfa HealthCare shows DX-D 800* automated X-ray room at ECR 2012

• The DX-D 800 is a dynamic, 3-in-1 DR system offering real-time images for fluoroscopy, general radiography and direct exposures.
• Remote-controlled table with video camera for patient positioning, providing excellent workflow and maximum patient comfort and safety.
• Increased mobility, for a high level of productivity and flexibility.

Agfa HealthCare announces today that it will present its DX-D 800 3-in-1 system for radiography, fluoroscopy and direct exposures at ECR 2012. The many features and design elements of this complete, automated X-ray room improve workflow and maximize patient comfort, while enhancing flexibility in diagnostics and increasing the mobility of the solution, for greater productivity. The DX D 800 is part of Agfa HealthCare's comprehensive family of direct radiography (DR) solutions.

3-in-1 system for very broad range of applications

The DX-D 800 is a complete digital X-ray room fitted with a dynamic, portable and removable flat-panel detector. This remote-controlled, multi-purpose system allows a very broad range of fluoroscopy and radiology exams, as well as direct exposures. Fluoroscopy applications include gastrointestinal examinations, urogenital, angiography and interventional radiology. Radiography applications include skull, thorax, abdomen, spine and pelvis, as well as full leg/full spine (FLFS) with automatic image stitching.

Maximizing patient comfort

The mobility of the DX-D 800 also makes it ideal for pediatric, extremity and lateral images, as well as for use with patients with reduced mobility.

The DX D 800 comes with a remote controlled table as well as a video camera for positioning the patient without irradiation. Both play an important part in ensuring a quick and easy procedure for the patient. The system also has pre-determined automatic collimation and filters for each protocol, which allow a potential dose reduction while optimizing image quality.

Enhanced productivity and workflow combined with imaging excellence

"At ECR 2012, visitors can see that our DX-D 800 is more than a converted X-ray room. Its innovative room design concept offers greater ergonomy for staff, and enhanced comfort and safety for patients," comments Dirk Debusscher, Vice President Imaging at Agfa HealthCare. "Thanks to the remote controlled table and video camera, the patient can be positioned easily, without irradiation. Yet it fully supports our goal to 'make no compromises in image quality', with its dynamic, real-time imaging for fluoroscopy and radiography, and its imaging excellence."

Insight. Delivered.
