Carestream Detector

Product Details:

Carestream is shipping its new DRX Core family of DRX detectors designed to make reliable, high-quality DR imaging affordable for imaging centers, small to mid-size hospitals, urgent care facilities, specialty clinics and providers that perform mobile imaging exams.

The DRX Core portfolio includes wireless gadolinium (GOS) and cesium (CsI) scintillators in 35 x 43 cm and 43 x 43 cm sizes—as well as fixed 43 x 43 cm detectors with both scintillators. The detectors are available in the United States, Canada and many countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

DRX Core detectors can be used with Carestream’s DRX-Ascend System, DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kits and DRX-Motion Mobile X-ray System*. Up to two DRX Core detectors can be registered with each system at any time. Facilities can combine DRX Plus, DRX-1 and DRX Core detectors to have a combination of eight detectors registered with DIRECTVIEW Software on each imaging system for simultaneous use.

“The ability to integrate DRX Core, DRX Plus and DRX-1 detectors offers exceptional flexibility for healthcare providers of all sizes. Providers can select a detector that offers the desired features and budget requirements for each imaging area,” said Sarah Verna, Carestream’s Global Marketing Manager for X-ray Solutions.

DRX Core detectors deliver a preview image in three seconds and full-resolution display in 12 seconds. These detectors use the same battery as DRX Plus and DRX-1 detectors to maximize return on investment and streamline imaging operations.

DRX Core detectors can be used with Carestream’s DIRECTVIEW software or Image Suite software. Image Suite software offers beam detection advantages that eliminate the need for a cable connection to the generator. Image capture will automatically start when the detector senses the X-ray exposure. DIRECTVIEW users can employ direct connection or beam detection methods. Carestream supports more than 180 different generator connection types.

DRX Core detectors offer a Level 4 liquid rating that provides protection against water spray from any direction. Tri- and bi-color LED lights offer improved feedback of detector status.

Product Details:

The CARESTREAM DRX-L Detector allows capture of long-length images with a single exposure – reducing patient dose, saving exam time, speeding workflow, decreasing repeats and allowing for a higher level of patient comfort.

 

The DRX-L Detector provides the largest field of view and highest resolution to deliver high-quality leg and spine exams. This solution drastically reduces patient hold time and minimizes patient discomfort as the image is acquired in a single shot. The benefits of the DRX-L Detector enables a facility to deliver the highest level of care when imaging and diagnosing the patient and planning treatment.

 

ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE: 

• Easily accommodates long-leg, scoliosis and degenerative spine exams with the largest field of view; 17” x 51”.
• Drastically reduces hold time and minimizes patient discomfort as long-length scans can be completed in less than one second – compared to 15 seconds or more with a multi-shot DR solution.
• Improves workflow and efficiency with less set-up time vs. multi-shot exams – while reducing patient dose.
• Uses Eclipse Image Processing for extraordinary image quality and provides one unified image, with no need to manipulate a stitched image due to patient movement.

Product Details:

With the Carestream DRX Plus Detector, Carestream introduced the world’s first wireless, cassette-sized detector. It quickly set a new standard for speed, ease of handling and enhanced workflow. Now the DRX Plus Detectors have arrived and are even faster, lighter and more reliable. Based on the unique X-Factor platform, they are compatible across our entire DRX Family of X-ray solutions – and slide into virtually any existing X-ray system. With models for both general radiography imaging and dose-sensitive applications, DRX Plus Detectors will help you elevate imaging performance to an even

Introducing the newest wireless DDA for NDT Digital Imaging

Arm yourself with Carestream’s new DRX-Plus Portable Wireless Detector!

• The ultimate tool for portable NDT work, the DRX-Plus is compact and lightweight at only 6.75 lbs. It has a rugged weatherproof design with an IP57 enclosure ingress rating.

It offers high-resolution imaging with a 139-micron pixel size and can be operated wireless or with a tether for maximum flexibility in the field.

Benefits:

DRX-Plus at a glance:

• REDUCED EXPOSURE – DDA panels are highly sensitive. Combine this with the ability to do frame averaging and you will likely be able to reduce your dose and still capture all the sensitivity needed for your critical inspection task.
• FASTER – Uses no disposable media in the process so you cut out cassette loading and unloading time, developing, processing and reloading for the next shot. The DRX-Plus offers quick start-up and calibration, and rapid image display after an acquisition. Produce high-quality digital images in seconds for immediate analysis.
• EASIER – At 6.75 lbs. the DRX-Plus is a lightweight, compact all-weather design that is simple to operate. In the lab, it can be put on a powered tether and in the field run 100% via battery. With the ‘hot swap’ feature the panel can remain on when changing batteries, increasing uptime.
• WIRELESS – The DRX-Plus can operate completely wireless giving the user full freedom of movement and minimizing set-up time on site. This is especially helpful for rope access teams looking for minimal weight, high sensitivity, and a powerful wireless connection.
• HIGH RESOLUTION – The DRX-Plus has 139-micron pixel pitch that can reveal small details, cracks, and defects. Powered by our INDUSTREX image analysis software with the most advanced NDT post-capture tools for image measurements, enhancements, and analysis.
