Digital Radiography System Streamlines Workflow

(Lake Success, NY, USA), has expanded its line of DR systems with the Canon CXDI-40EC DR system, which features the LANMIT 8 (large area new-MIS sensor and thin film transistor [TFT]), is equipped with a large 17 x 17-inch imaging area for capturing x-ray images, both large and small, without the need to adjust detector orientation. This new DR system consists of a Canon amorphous silicon (a-Si) flat panel detector and cesium iodide (CsI) scintillator, allowing for extremely effective x-ray absorption and high signal-to-noise performance.

At the core of the CXDI-40EC DR system is the Canon amorphous silicon (a-Si) flat panel detector with CsI scintillator, which produces clear, high-resolution diagnostic images in 12-bit grayscale (4096 gradations). The highly sensitive detector contains approximately 7.2 million pixels--each pixel only 160 microns wide--and features an expansive dynamic range to capture subtle contrast and fine image detail that may otherwise appear over or underexposed on conventional film.

To enable seamless data transfer to any DICOM hard copy output device, or picture archiving and communications system (PACS) for diagnostic read, archiving, remote viewing and printing of images, the system comes standard with an Ethernet 10/100 Base T connectivity that offers DICOM 3.0 compatibility.

The system also complies with the IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) standards for interoperability to help ensure easy, effective integration with an organization's network. For example, the system can integrate directly with an IHE Scheduled Workflow Profile application. This seamless integration allows for procedure instructions and patient information to pass from the health information system/radiology information system (HIS/RIS) to the Canon device and return information directly to the HIS/RIS to aid in patient billing and records management.
