New Digital Chest Imaging System

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 15 Dec 2000
A new digital chest imaging system that has been unveiled as a work-in-progress will offer superior image quality along with an x-ray dose reduction of 40%. More...
A chest x-ray is the most frequently performed procedure in most radiology departments.

The new imaging system, called the Odelft ThoraScan, comes from the combined resources of the merger of Odelft Diagnostic X-ray group and Nucletron B.V. (Veenendaal, The Netherlands). The system is based on slot-scan technology in combination with a highly sensitive multilinear solid state detector specially developed by Thomson Tube Electronique in France. The result is a unique image-capture method that improves chest radiology by offering unsurpassed image quality, says Nucletron.

The ThoraScan system was introduced at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago (IL, USA). It is expected to be commercially available in the third quarter of 2001. Nucletron says the multilinear detector is less fragile than 2D-matrix plates, which will result in lower operating costs, another benefit. Also, since the ThoraScan is digital, it can be easily integrated into a PACS network.
