Computed Radiography Features One-Click Technology

Konica Minolta Medical Imaging (Wayne, NJ, USA) reported on a new cost effective digital imaging solution that combines the ImagePilot Sigma CR technology with Konica Minolta’s total cost of ownership (TCO) long-term support plan. By bringing together technology and service solutions, ImagePilot Sigma TCO simplifies the transition to digital imaging and controls ongoing costs for imaging facilities and private practices.

The new ImagePilot Sigma TCO solution provides long-term coverage of remote technical support, software upgrades, cassette repairs, replacement parts, and data archiving. Informity, Konica Minolta’s cloud-based subscription service that automatically backs up patient and system data to a secure data center, can help satisfy [US] Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requirements by securing protected health data.

The all-in-one ImagePilot Sigma provides simple image acquisition and review capabilities, and integrates with most electronic medical record (EMR) software and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) to streamline workflow and improve effectiveness.

Weighing a mere 28 kg, Image Pilot is a new generation CR system that greatly simplifies CR image acquisition to the push of a button. “The introduction of TCO plans for the ImagePilot Sigma provide economic value and peace of mind for practitioners who want to convert to digital radiography or upgrade their existing CR solution without worrying about service issues and technology upgrades,” said Steve Eisner, senior product manager, Konica Minolta Medical.

Konica Minolta Medical Imaging is a developer of medical diagnostic primary imaging. Medical Imaging is a unit of Konica Minolta, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan).
