 Agfa HealthCare, a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and healthcare IT solutions, announces today that its DX-D 500n Direct Radiography system is now available in Canada.
The system delivers instant previews, fast cycle times, a unified look and feel for CR and DR exams and streamlined workflow procedures through its NX workstation and MUSICA2 image processing. In combination with Agfa HealthCare's CR systems, the DX-D 500n addresses the needs of the full spectrum of general radiology exams.
"Agfa HealthCare's DX-D solutions deliver fast cycle times, which can result in accelerated productivity, improved patient comfort, and efficiency in radiography departments. Providers and patients benefit from consistent image quality, the potential for dose reduction, and streamlined workflow," says Dirk Debusscher, Vice President Imaging. "Because Agfa HealthCare is the only company to offer needle quality in both its DR and CR detectors, choosing Agfa HealthCare's DX-D and CR systems can assure providers of high imaging quality, as well as enhanced productivity."
Designed for hospital departments and imaging centers that manage up to 125 exams daily, the DX-D 500 n offers patient comfort along with diagnostic confidence. Patients appreciate shorter exam times, while radiologists can rely on receiving the quality images they need for rapid diagnosis. The DX-D 500 n allows for fast and efficient upright imaging through a high-quality wall stand, while panels fixed in the table deliver added versatility. The system's cassette-less workflow allows radiographers to preview images, complete studies in a limited number of steps and quickly return to patients. Needle-based panels offer high image quality and the potential for lower dose, which can translate into higher diagnostic confidence, flexibility, and speed.
"Agfa HealthCare's DX-D 500 n DR system and CR systems offer providers complete imaging solutions to meet their digital image capture requirements. The result is sharp, consistent images, workflow efficiency, integration, and ease of use," says Michael Green, President and CEO, Agfa HealthCare - North America. "No matter where providers are in their digital migration, Agfa HealthCare has the solutions to complement their workflow and operations models. They can easily build on their NX experience with the DX-D 500n or begin a new family of Agfa HealthCare DR and CR solutions."
