Carestream launches Lux 35 Detector, glass-free cesium detector for medical imaging
Carestream Health has launched its first cesium glass-free medical detector. The Carestream Lux 35 Detector is a lightweight, glass-free wireless detector ergonomically designed with the comfort of patients and radiographers in mind. The cesium detector offers superb resolution, better detail and a reduced exposure dose as compared to gadolinium detectors.
Weighing around 5 pounds (2.25 kg) , the sleek 14” x 17” (35 cm x 43 cm) Lux 35 Detector, with its glass-free sensor, is Carestream’s lightest detector to date.
“The lightweight Lux 35 Detector helps ease stress on radiographers, especially when doing mobile imaging as they are constantly moving the detector from machine to patient,” said Jill Hamman, Worldwide Marketing Manager of Global X-ray Solutions at Carestream. “The lighter weight and ergonomic finger grips result in less stress and fatigue on radiographers.”
The Lux 35’s ergonomic design enables easier handling and positioning. Rounded and beveled edges provide more patient comfort when the detector needs to be placed behind or under a patient.
The Lux 35 supports a variety of imageprocessing options to assist radiologists, including Tube and Line Visualization, Pneumothorax Visualization, EVP Plus, Bone Suppression and many more.
The Lux 35 uses Carestream’s ImageView Software powered by Eclipse for high image quality and consistent presentation. This detector also features the X-Factor, which means it can be shared with other compatible Carestream DRX equipment. LED lights on the detector provide immediate information on its status. Additionally, the Lux 35 Detector battery is backwards compatible – it works with DRX Plus Detectors and uses the same battery charger.
