Patient and operator comfort
Patient and operator comfort and safety are both enhanced by the remote control and in-room control capability, auto positioning and 180 cm Source Imaging Distance (SID). Exposure control and digital imaging functionality are seamlessly integrated into an intuitive, efficient user interface.

“The DR 800 is increasing our patient throughput, while maximizing the use of the room.” states Marcus Foster, Director of Radiology Services at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center. “Workflow is smoother, and the image quality is excellent. Our radiologists are very pleased with the image quality, room features and are excited we have added digital tomosynthesis capability for challenging exams. Additionally, the potential reduction in dose helps us meet our commitment to patients; to provide high quality and safer patient care.”
“We appreciate the opportunity to meet Chesapeake Regional Healthcare’s digital imaging needs,” comments Jared Houk, Senior Vice President, Radiology Solutions, North America. “The innovative design of the DR 800, and our industry-leading MUSICA image processing software, provide excellent image quality, the potential to provide an up to 60% dose reduction, and outstanding efficiency gains.”
