Computed radiography solution.DX-S, Agra's new computed radiography radiography: see X ray. (CR) solution, includes two unique technologies: DirectriX needle-based detector detector: see particle detector. and Scanhead line-to-line CR stimulation and light collection. The former enables DX-S to capture sharper images by minimizing scattering scattering In physics, the change in direction of motion of a particle because of a collision with another particle. The collision can occur between two charged particles; it need not involve direct physical contact. , caused by light spread in the scintillator scin·til·la·tor n. A substance that glows when hit by high-energy particles or photons. layer. The latter accelerates readouts by enabling high-resolution scanning of the DirectriX detector. It increases cassette throughput up to 180 plates per hour, providing image previews in less than five seconds and final image displays in less than 15 seconds. The compact, portable unit is designed to provide high-quality imaging exams at the point-of-care in general radiology radiology, branch of medicine specializing in the use of X rays, gamma rays, radioactive isotopes, and other forms of radiation in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. , pediatrics and emergency departments. Once DX-S is installed in an examination room, scanning the patient, reading the cassettes, and reviewing and storing the images all can be accomplished from the same room during the patient's examination. This may possibly increase the patient's comfort and definitely saves time. Agfa-Gevaert Group, Belgium, Austria. www.rsleads.com/601ht-186 [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
