Swissray International, Inc. is the recipient of Frost & Sullivan’s 2008 North American Single Detector Digital Radiography Product Innovation of the Year Award for its cost effective line of high-quality digital radiography systems, the ddRCompact™ series.
The following is from the statement by Frost & Sullivan:
Combined with world renowned Swiss Engineering, the ddRCompact series increases patient throughput and overall productivity, while lowering the costs associated with imaging thus enhancing the revenues for the imaging center, all at one time, which makes it unique.
“Swissray is the only one of its kind in the digital imaging front, offering customers a detector technology choice – either amorphous silicon flat panel detectors or solid state charge couple devices systems,” says Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Pramodh Ishwarakrishnan. “The company introduced the ddRCompact series in order to provide a low-cost DR system that produces high-quality, high-resolution images, and to meet the needs and demands of low-volume imaging centers and markets such as orthopedics, smaller hospitals, veterinary and chiropractic.”
Specifically designed to accommodate the needs of modern radiography departments, the ddRCompact system employs a single High Definition Silicon Solid State Detector HD-3000™ which offers outstanding image quality at low levels of radiation in just seconds.
By utilizing a single detector, the cost incurred by imaging centers is significantly lower since the DR system investment and the maintenance costs are minimal. Swissray’s technology improves the productivity gains in a hospital and overrides the limitations of conventional and computed radiography.
The ddRCompact is based on a C-arm design, where the X-ray tube is aligned and always centered to the detector for fast, precise, and convenient patient positioning. Swissray’s unique Automated Positioning System (APS) streamlines the radiography workflow process by automating all positioning and collimation requirements. With its remote control and pre-programmed memory function, the system can be moved quickly, conveniently and precisely into the desired applications. Patient demographics are seamlessly integrated and add to enhance the efficiency of exam workflow.
