Radiation therapy firm Varian Medical Systems has introduced PaxScan 3030+, a flat-panel digital radiography (DR) detector designed for interventional angiography procedures.
PaxScan 3030+ offers a speed of up to 30 frames per second, allowing physicians to monitor interventional procedures in real-time, according to the Palo Alto, CA-based vendor. The panel is also designed for use in cardiovascular imaging systems and surgical C-arms, Varian said.
The detector incorporates a 194-micron pixel pitch, and it also features a cesium iodide scintillator optimized for scanning at 40-150 kV to minimize patient dose, Varian said.
