Health Imaging & IT - January 2009 - (Page 9) Looking to Wireless (and ultra-flexible): Streamlining DR Healthcare facilities aiming to wed wireless flexibility and DR can select from a host of options. Although not technically wireless, Canon Medical Systems CXDI-60G 9 x 10-inch, portable DR sensor features a detachable cable to simplify patient positioning. It weighs 5.9 pounds and is less than an inch thick. Carestream Health DRX-1 encompasses a wireless cassette-sized digital DR detector designed to provide flexible positioning and enhance efficiency and patient comfort. The 8.5-pound detector can be used wherever it is needed—in the wall stand bucky, table bucky or for tabletop shots and other difficult views. It has an on-board rechargeable battery or external battery charger. DRX-1 is a work in progress expected to be available in the first quarter of 2009. Another non-wireless, but ultra-flexible option, is the GE Healthcare Optima XR640. The system features a moveable detector designed to handle radiographic applications using a single, portable flat-panel digital detector that can either be inserted into the table or the wallstand for traditional imaging or removed and used in a digital cassette mode for tabletop, cross-table or other portable imaging. Designed to provide instant image display on Eleva workspots, Philips Healthcare Eleva Wireless flat-panel detector is a cable-free system that can be handled and positioned like a cassette. This detector is designed to be integrated into Philips DigitalDiagnost rooms and the Practix Covenio DR mobile DR system. The detector is pending FDA clearance. Siemens Healthcare Ysio wi-D combines integrated and wireless mobile detector technology into a single system. The wireless detector handles like a cassette and can be removed from the table for exposures that are difficult to take using a fixed detector. Ysio is available as a wall stand with an integrated detector, a wall stand and table system with a wireless detector or as a mixed detector solution for high throughput and flexibility.
