Carestream launches new x-ray system

Carestream Health has launched a new x-ray system called DXR-Excel Plus with features designed to help simplify workflow and enhance productivity.

DXR-Excel Plus is a two-in-one system for both fluoroscopy and general radiology that delivers real-time, images for a wide range of exams, while providing features that help create an enhanced experience for users, patients, and administrators, the company said.

Those features include the following:

  • Automatic Grid Parking directly linked to the exam
  • Automatic Filter Control, which selects filters according to the exam and the patient’s morphology
  • Touch Screen Interface on the tubehead that displays patient information and exam details as soon as the patient enters the room. Additionally, all table movements can be controlled by the radiographer from the touch screen
  • Automatic positioning of all table axes depending on the selected exam
  • Flexibility to control table movements with foot pedals, a remote, or from the console, depending on the user’s preference

In addition, DRX-Excel Plus includes a camera integrated into the collimators to allow radiographers to position patients directly from the console without using fluoroscopy, which can help limit radiation doses, the company said.
