Philips launches new CR unit

Multimodality vendor Philips Medical Systems has launched a new computed radiography system in its PCR product line, called PCR Eleva. The Andover, MA, company launched the system at last week's Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) meeting.

PCR Eleva includes a dedicated workstation with an optimized workflow designed to enhance CR productivity, according to the company. The workstation is capable of scheduling a work list through a hospital's RIS, with patient information automatically linked to the CR cassette.

Quality control features include brightness/contrast, shutter control, annotation, and orientation control. The system's DICOM functionality allows it to integrate directly into a hospital IT network. The system's interface also integrates with the Vequion user interface used on other products in the Philips portfolio.
