Agfa HealthCare announces the launch of the new CR 30-X, a versatile tabletop Computed Radiography (CR) solution. The compact digitizer offers the same efficiency and high image quality that users would expect in full floor-size models. The user-friendly, single plate CR 30-X is designed for diagnostic imaging facilities of all sizes. The compact design makes it suitable for smaller facilities or areas where space might be an issue. In addition to the smaller size and attractive price, the CR 30-X high image quality, speed and networking abilities rival larger systems in its flexibility and convenience.
The CR 30-X integrates to local PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) networks, allowing imaging professionals to maximize the value of their existing or future PACS.
For those facilities that have yet to replace their film-based workflows, the CR 30-X is an affordable entry into digital imaging. For larger facilities, the CR 30-X can cost-effectively add remote areas to the digital network. For both, the system also offers consumable cost savings, and the added benefits of being more environmentally friendly, with the elimination of processing chemicals.
"The CR 30-X is the ideal solution for any imaging facility that wants to go digital, whether it is used in a multi-million dollar PACS environment or in a small imaging practice. It is easy-to-use, compact and affordable. The electronic image-distribution capabilities of the system help streamline the workflow, making users more productive." said David Chambers, vice president, Sales and Marketing Americas, Agfa HealthCare.
Agfa HealthCare's NX workstation is included with the CR 30-X, offering convenient image identification and quality control for the user. The CR 30-X is ideal for decentralized General Radiography (ICU, OR, Emergency), military field hospitals, physician offices, orthopedics, dental, chiropractic and veterinary use.
Agfa HealthCare's CR 30-X is now commercially available.
