Carestream Launches New Mobile X-Ray System With Improved Mobility and Image Quality

September 14th, 2011 Smit Shah Radiology

Carestream Health, Inc. has announced the launch of its new DRX-Revolution Mobile X-Ray System, which incorporates a number of improvements to existing portable X-Ray systems.

The DRX-Revolution is driven by two motors for easy movement, and it has a collapsible column, allowing the entire system to shrink to four feet tall to allow for better mobility when it is being transported. In addition to its enhanced portability, the DRX-Revolution uses onboard software to provide enhanced image quality and to reduce the need for retakes.

From the announcement:

Physicians will quickly appreciate the excellent image quality produced by the DRX-Revolution due to its powerful 32kW generator, DRX detector and special software that enables the radiographer to easily align the tube with the grid to optimize image quality. This solves the difficulty in aligning the x-ray tube—the main reason that inhibits grid usage overall—which can lead to fewer image retakes and faster diagnosis for patients who are confined to their beds and in need of urgent care.

Carestream’s DRX-Revolution also offers the longest tube head reach available anywhere, making it easier for radiographers to quickly and effectively conduct x-ray exams despite the crowded presence of bedside medical equipment.
