Carestream is partnering with top orthopaedic and sports medicine specialists to design a new cone beam CT (CBCT) medical imaging system for capturing images of patient extremities including knees, legs, feet, arms and hands.
This software newest version is designed to run on a wide range of systems, including many different computers with older operating systems. Users can run the software directly from the media (CD or drive) or it can be installed on their PC.
The premium systems are designed for general diagnostic imaging use in radiology, OB/GYN, musculoskeletal and vascular applications. Carestream’s new ultrasound systems have earned praise for an all-touch control panel and expanded capabilities.
The Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service are the world’s top sales awards, business development awards, contact center awards, and customer service awards.
The hospital installed DRX-1 detectors in four portable imaging systems and implemented dual detectors in its two X-ray rooms that serve its busy ER.
The hospital’s radiologists are extremely pleased with Carestream’s spine labeling, vascular and other reading tools. Surgeons also use PACS-based measurement tools as part of their surgical planning.
The hospital has lowered patient X-ray exposure by an average of 30 to 40 percent by replacing CR cassettes with DRX detectors.
Spire Healthcare operates a network of 38 private hospitals across the UK and this development is seen as a key progression in upgrading its existing CARESTREAM PACS solution.
The new detectors offer higher DQE* (detective quantum efficiency) to enable improved image quality and lower dose. A reduced weight and thinner profile allows even easier handling.
Like other members of the company’s portfolio of DRX systems, the DRX-Evolution Plus enables each DRX detector to work with all other DRX systems within a provider’s environment.
