RSNA '06: The Agfa Report

by Amanda Doreson, Project Manager | December 12, 2006

Agfa showcased
CR 30-X, NX Workstation,
DX-Si and IMPAX.

Agfa HealthCare announced the launch of the new commercially available CR 30-X, a versatile tabletop Computed Radiography (CR) solution for diagnostic imaging. The compact digitizer offers the same efficiency and high image quality that users would expect in full floor-size models.

The CR 30-X integrates to local PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) networks, allowing imaging professionals to maximize the value of their existing or future PACS.

We repair MRI Coils, RF amplifiers, Gradient Amplifiers and Injectors.

CR 30-X

Agfa HealthCare’s NX workstation is included with the CR 30-X, offering convenient image identification and quality control for the user. The CR 30-X is ideal for decentralized General Radiography (ICU, OR, Emergency), military field hospitals, physician offices, orthopedics, dental, chiropractic and veterinary use.

NX Workstation

Agfa Healthcare also showed the new DX-Si, a cost-effective, integrated digital radiography solution that will be ideal for a comprehensive range of applications.

Agfa HealthCare’s DX-Si combines the DX-S, a digital radiography system that includes two major technology innovations, DirectriX™ and Scanhead™ with an X-ray modality built upon proven, reliable, well-known technology. The integration of Agfa HealthCare’s NX Workstation with the DX-Si results in a reduction of workflow steps for the radiographer and an optimized image file, streamlining the workflow.

DX-Si

The DX-Si will be well suited for high-throughput general radiography rooms, ER and Pediatric environments.

Agfa HealthCare additionally showed IMPAX, a work-in-progress that will be integrated into Agfa HealthCare’s IMPAX, offers point-of-care access to such applications as 3-D, Fusion, Digital Subtraction Angiography, Computer-Aided Detection (CAD), X-ray Vascular Analysis, Virtual Colonoscopy and nuclear medicine. It can receive hundreds of images per second.
