U.S. providers can soon expect to perform radiography, fluoroscopy and a range of advanced clinical applications on one platform following the FDA’s clearance of Agfa’s DR 800 multi-purpose imaging system.
The three-in-one solution cuts down on preparation, waiting and procedure times while producing images with high quality and low-dose exposure, enabling faster and more confident diagnoses as well as greater uses of rooms.
“Traditional R&F rooms sit dormant in many departments due to the age of the equipment and the limits of the design,” George Curley, director of marketing communications for medical imaging at Agfa, told HCB News. “The DR 800 can be used for fluoroscopy in the morning, be used for interventional radiology and specialists such as GI and Pain Management in the afternoon and serve equally well as a general radiology room after hours.”
