Building a truly comprehensive DR portfolio requires commitment to improving quality, performance and patient outcomes. At RSNA 2017, Agfa HealthCare will demonstrate that commitment in spades, as we preview our multi-purpose DR 800

By listening closely to our customers and the healthcare industry, we keep a finger on the pulse of evolving needs, such as the increasing demand for fluoroscopy imaging, the pressure to maximize investments, the growing awareness of the role of radiology in value-based care…

With a single investment, the DR 800 multipurpose imaging tool can handle a full range of radiography exams (including static and tilting exams) and fluoroscopy exams (including barium studies, arthrograms, cystograms, myelography and catheter placement, etc.), while offering exceptional positioning freedom. The dynamic MUSICA image processing software, for both static and moving images, handles fluoroscopic images with the same high quality and low dose features that have made it the ‘gold standard’ for radiology departments around the world.

And the DR 800 provides all the benefits of DR: higher quality images, the potential for lower radiation dose[2], increased productivity and a smooth, more efficient workflow.

Part of one comprehensive DR portfolio

Our DR 800 and our other DR solutions support radiology within the care continuum – where informed diagnosis and treatment decisions are critical for value-based care. We focus on enabling any hospital to go DR, regardless of its size or budget, with solutions that include: the mobile, wireless DX-D 100+; the DX-D 300 with U-arm; the floor-mounted, scalable DR 400; the high-productivity DR 600 with ZeroForce Technology and the DR Retrofit.

All our DR solutions offer:

  • A choice of fixed, tethered and wireless detectors with Cesium Iodide (CsI) or Gadolinium Oxy-Sulphide (GOS) technology. CsI also offers the potential for dose reduction2.
  • Our ‘gold-standard’ MUSICA intelligent image processing, which provides consistently high image quality to support diagnosis, while saving both time and effort.
  • X-Team Technology for viewing and communicating. Combining workflow and universal viewing, X-Team Technology enables a new level of collaboration and multidisciplinary consultation!

With this comprehensive portfolio of versatile, powerful DR solutions, we are meeting the real needs of radiology with real answers. At RSNA 2017, let us show you how that creates Care You Can See.
