Portable radiographic systems
Portable digital radiography systems are also a vital tool in diagnostic imaging. These flexible point-of-care systems can be placed directly at the patient's bedside when they are not capable of being moved to a radiology department. The current generation of portable DR equipment is lighter and smaller, making it the ideal partner for ERs, ORs, and ICUs. When purchasing mobile units, customers are looking for maneuverability, longer battery life, image quality, and detector configuration. As with fixed systems, customers have the option of purchasing a smaller 8x10 or 10x12 detector for pediatric and orthopedic imaging in addition to the more common 14x17 wireless detector.

Image quality, flexibility, and dose rate are often primary considerations when purchasing a flat panel detector (FPD) as part of any new system or upgrade. Most customers choose cesium iodide (CsI) detectors, which provide superior image quality with a lower dose rate. For customers with a limited budget, gadolinium oxysulfide (Gadox) detectors offer a more cost-effective solution and enable them to receive high-quality images at a lower price point. Vendor-neutral detectors are a popular option as they can be utilized with other vendors' DR equipment and allow detector sharing throughout the department.
