According to the Frost & Sullivan white paper, “Even as the role of imaging has grown considerably, several underlying challenges across the imaging value chain are restraining radiology from being utilized to its full potential i.e., increasing workloads, labor shortages, workflow inefficiencies, etc. These challenges need to be overcome.” SmartRotate™ auto-rotates images to their standard orientation [...]

The Frost & Sullivan White paper “Business Case and Benefits of Automatic X-ray Rotation Functionality within Agfa’s SmartXR® Offering'  highlights the impact of automatic X-ray image rotatation  in the image aquisition workflows. Studies were carried out between 2020 and 2022 at Rush University Medical Center, in Illinois.   At Rush University Medical Center, manual rotations were reduced to 4-5% [...]

In the study on DR Image Quality we have gathered our experience and achievements in the field of medical X-ray imaging over the past 30 years and this in the areas of image processing, image quality and dose management. The study involves five individual hospitals in Germany, six independent readers (radiologists), and data collected over more [...]

Agfa DR image quality and patient care study. We have a long-term history as worldwide leadership in X-ray image processing. It was therefore considered appropriate to carry out a study on a larger clinical scale in order to obtain reliable clinical data and to re-confirm and quantify real-world image quality.

In daily clinical practice, using only the large focal spot has many potential advantages: simplifying workflow, but also – indirectly – having a positive impact on image quality and financial aspects. This study demonstrates that there is no significant difference in clinical image quality between large and small focal spot for several types of X ray [...]

Despite a large array of publications and clinically-oriented investigations and studies indicating potential applications in various fields, digital tomosynthesis (DTS) has not yet realized its potential as a widely used clinical application. Apart from mammography, where digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is becoming increasingly well-established, DTS is acknowledged in the academic field, but seemingly less in clinical [...]
