Key Features:
Wireless Digital Radiography (DR) Technology:
The DRX-Revolution uses Carestream’s wireless DR detectors, which provide fast, high-resolution images and eliminate the need for film processing or delays in developing images. This improves the speed of diagnosis and the efficiency of workflows.
High-Quality Imaging:
With advanced image processing, the system delivers clear, detailed images with minimal radiation exposure. The technology is designed to ensure high-quality images even for patients with challenging conditions, including pediatric and critical care patients.
Exceptional Mobility and Flexibility:
The DRX-Revolution features a rotating, 90-degree articulating arm, which enables easy positioning for a wide variety of imaging angles and patient positions. This flexibility makes it suitable for use in emergency situations, ICUs, trauma units, and pediatric care.
The system’s compact design allows it to navigate easily through tight hospital hallways and small patient rooms, making it ideal for mobile imaging in any environment.
Long-Lasting, Rechargeable Battery:
The rechargeable battery offers long-lasting power, ensuring that the system can be used for extended periods without frequent recharging, which is particularly useful in emergency situations or when mobility is crucial.
Fast Imaging Workflow:
Instant image acquisition and transfer to PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) or other hospital systems allow for immediate diagnosis. This fast workflow reduces patient wait times and supports faster clinical decision-making.
Low Radiation Exposure:
The system is designed to minimize radiation exposure, ensuring both patient safety and operator protection, especially important in vulnerable populations such as children and elderly patients.
User-Friendly Interface:
The intuitive touchscreen interface allows for easy operation by radiologic technologists and other healthcare staff, even with minimal training. The system’s design ensures efficiency and ease of use, improving overall productivity.
Durable and Reliable Design:
Built for high performance and long-term reliability, the DRX-Revolution is designed to withstand the demands of frequent use in busy clinical settings, offering consistent performance and durability.
Seamless Integration with Hospital Systems:
The DRX-Revolution integrates seamlessly with hospital PACS and RIS (Radiology Information Systems), enabling easy transfer of digital images and facilitating communication and coordination between different departments.
Applications of the Carestream DRX-Revolution Mobile X-Ray System:
Emergency Care and Trauma Centers:
The mobile nature of the system makes it perfect for emergency departments and trauma care. It allows rapid imaging of injured or critical patients, enabling healthcare providers to diagnose fractures, internal injuries, or life-threatening conditions quickly and accurately.
Intensive Care Units (ICU):
The flexible design and mobility of the DRX-Revolution allow it to be used in ICUs, where patients are often unable to be moved. This system facilitates bedside imaging without the need to transport critically ill patients, saving time and reducing the risk of further complications.
Pediatric Imaging:
With low radiation dose and the ability to position patients comfortably, the DRX-Revolution is especially useful for pediatric imaging. It ensures that children receive minimal radiation exposure while still obtaining high-quality diagnostic images.
Orthopedic Imaging:
The system is frequently used in orthopedic care to quickly image fractures, dislocations, and joint conditions, particularly in trauma centers or field settings where immediate diagnosis is necessary.
Respiratory and Chest Imaging:
The system is ideal for chest X-rays and respiratory imaging, helping to diagnose conditions like pneumonia, COPD, tuberculosis, and congestive heart failure. Its ability to capture clear lung images with minimal exposure is essential for diagnosing these conditions quickly.
Surgical Imaging:
Surgeons can use the system in the operating room or emergency situations for real-time imaging during procedures, ensuring they have immediate feedback for making decisions.
Field Imaging and Disaster Response:
The portability and rugged design of the DRX-Revolution make it suitable for field use in remote areas or during disaster response efforts, allowing for fast imaging in challenging environments like military settings or emergency response operations.
