Consistent image quality with MUSICA²
The DX-D Retrofit solution comes with our body part-
independent MUSICA² image processing, which has been
specially adapted and tuned to enhance DR image quality.
MUSICA² analyzes data for both bones and soft tissue
separately, to enhance contrast detail over the entire dynamic
range, eliminating the need to compromise on either contrast
or density. The resulting improved image quality and greater
detail allows you to extract diagnostic information quickly,
increasing productivity and realizing shorter examination
times for faster patient turn-around.
A choice of detectors for all exams and budgets
We offer a choice of both wireless and tethered detectors as
well as Cesium Iodide (CsI) and Gadolinium Oxy-Sulphide
(
GOS) technology to meet all examination and budgetary
requirements. The synchronization of the DX-D Retrofit
solution with your existing generator enables the detector to
acquire diagnostic images immediately for a more efficient
workflow and greater patient comfort.
CsI detectors provide potential for reducing patient dose*
Our top quality CsI wireless detectors, with reliable high
sensitivity scintillators, are ideal for all dose sensitive
applications such as Pediatric imaging, offering the potential
for dose reduction while maintaining excellent image quality.
CsI detectors have inherently higher quantum efficiency while
MUSICA² converts the raw data into excellent contrast detail
in the images. The impressive imaging performance provides
you with an improved basis for efficient diagnosis and with the
potential for dose reduction when using the CsI detectors.
Detector sharing interchangeability delivers ease of use and
maximum productivity
Given the level of investment required in any DR system, the
capability of sharing wireless detectors with other fixed/
mobile DR solutions is invaluable in realizing cost reductions
with minimal investment. The lack of cables enables the
wireless detector to be switched easily from a mobile X-ray
unit to a complete X-ray room solution and vice versa
while its compact design and light weight makes handling
virtually effortless. This wireless feature enhances ease and
convenience and is especially useful in emergency rooms,
sterile environments and ICU applications.
Improved workflow and examination speed
As part of a cassette-less solution, our DR detectors provide
a host of benefits that improve workflow and examination
time. Immediate verification of patient positioning and image
quality enables completed exams to be sent immediately to the
PACS or imagers in DICOM format. Exposures are no longer
limited by the number of cassettes available, and Direct Digital
eliminates the risk of patients' cassettes being mixed up.
Agfa HealthCare's cassette-sized detectors with an image size
of 35 x 43 cm fit into any standard bucky tray for quick, non-
invasive installation and immediate availability for clinical use.
