AHRA 2021: Carestream Health Showcases New Detector

AHRA 2021: Carestream Health Showcases New Detector

Carestream Health showcased its latest advances at the Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) 2021 conference (Booth #400).

“At Carestream, we continue to expand our portfolio with the goal of improving the imaging process from capture to diagnosis. We incorporate customer feedback as we invest in new ideas to ease provider workflow and increase throughput while enhancing patient comfort,” said Donald Thompson, Carestream’s Marketing Director for the U.S. and Canada.

At the AHRA conference, Carestream spotlighted the Ziehm Vision RFD C-arm, a surgical imaging system that provides a flat-panel detector for superb image quality. It supports the full spectrum of patients’ needs and a broad range of applications.

The company’s booth also featured the Lux 35 Detector, the lightest detector in Carestream’s portfolio. A glass-free wireless detector, the Lux 35 is ergonomically designed with patient and radiographer comfort in mind. The Carestream DRX-L Detector, a DR detector that captures high quality, long-length images in a single 51-inch exposure was also on display. It decreases retakes, enabling a higher level of comfort, especially for pediatric patients and patients with limited mobility.

The Carestream’s newly enhanced DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System with an improved ergonomic design that streamlines user workflow was another hot product on display. With more responsive display screens redesigned to better protect against fluid ingress, the DRX-Revolution provides radiographers with another point of visibility using functional LED lighting.

Carestream X-ray Specialist Angela Collins shared valuable information about the devices.

She was excited to share information about the brand-new glassless Lux 35 Detector with beveled edges and round corners that make positioning more comfortable for patients. She also pointed out the finger grip feature on the detector.

Collins hinted that some smaller detectors could be available in 2022.

The DRX-L Detector was described by Collins as an ideal device for long-length images via a one-shot approach. She explained that it eliminates the need to stitch images together. She explained that it also improves workflow and patient satisfaction by reducing scans times. It also has the capability to lower dose because fewer images will need to be taken.

Collins also explained how it can be used in an operating room for spine surgery or other procedures.

The Carestream DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System is a second-generation device with the same user-friendly features of the first-gen device. The difference comes via 18 small tweaks, Collins said, including a flat screen that provides better infection control and prevents liquid ingress into the system.

The company also showcased its family of DR Detectors that offers a variety of options to meet the needs of customers and their budget requirements. Carestream’s portfolio is aligned with its ImageView Software, applying artificial intelligence (AI) and Smart Features for increased productivity and security as well as optimized workflow. Carestream’s Eclipse – the engine behind the company’s cutting-edge imaging software platforms – uses proprietary algorithms and AI to amplify the value of the entire imaging chain.

“Our Eclipse engine powers a variety of robust image processing features that provide superb image quality, consistent presentation, custom preference looks and dose efficiency,” Thompson said. “Like all solutions in our portfolio, Eclipse supports workflow efficiency, allowing for faster exams and more streamlined processes that enable better patient diagnoses and care.”
