The RaySafe X2 Survey sensor offers an easy and fast solution for precise survey measurements in the X-ray energy range. It is the latest addition to the continually expanding RaySafe X2 X-ray measurement system, and adds the ability to perform leakage and scatter measurements in diagnostic X-ray applications. Its simple design is coupled with unprecedented accuracy and sensitivity. Unlike a pressurized ion-chamber, the RaySafe X2 Survey sensor is silicon- based, making it possible to ship without any special considerations or arrangements. The Survey sensor also has two trigger modes: manual and automatic. These modes allow the sensor to capture low dose-rate measurements in an X-ray machine’s primary beam. Another unique feature is its ability to switch energy response between Air Kerma (Gy or R) and Ambient Dose Equivalent (Sv). The RaySafe X2 sensors are specifically designed to minimize the need for user interaction. Other sensors in the RaySafe X2 Measurement System include R/F, MAM, CT and Light.

Using an optional module for existing Vue Mammo workstations or Vue PACS enables the radiologist to read traditional mammograms, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) or general radiography exams from a single desktop. Carestream’s DBT module adds unique workflow capabilities and specialized tools that optimize the reading of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis exams at the same time as other procedures. The module makes it possible to store, route and display Digital Breast Tomosynthesis exams using industry-recognized standards. A worklist indicator quickly identifies exams with Digital Breast Tomosynthesis images. User configurable hanging protocols display Digital Breast Tomosynthesis procedures along with any other procedure. Automatic positioning of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis images and mammograms eliminates manual manipulations, while automatic same sizing of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and mammograms makes it easy to compare a change in pathology. Digital Breast Tomosynthesis exams can be viewed in cine mode or by scrolling through images.

The MobileDaRt Evolution, EFX version digital mobile X-ray system can be moved to any location where radiography is required. It is equipped with a wireless flat panel detector (FPD) and broadens its applications from clinical rounds in hospitals to critical care and applications at disaster sites, as well as operating rooms and neonatal intensive care units. New features improve safety, processing speed, and save energy. Instead of a traditional hard disk drive, the new vibration resistant DR unit uses a high speed vibration resistant solid-state drive (SSD), thereby reducing the risk of data loss. In addition, the conventional system startup time has been reduced to +/- 1 min, allowing rapid radiography in an emergency. The new energy saving collimator with bright irradiation field uses LEDs as the light source to indicate the irradiation field, increasing the brightness and contributing to improved operability for the technologist. This reduces power consumption to approximately one half of conventional levels while ensuring a long operating life, reducing periodic maintenance requirements. The LCD monitor has a wide viewing angle, displaying high quality images that can be viewed from a wide range of positions around the unit. The addition of a new FPD increases the speed of internal processing, shortening the preview image display time to 2 secs, contributing to improved procedural efficiency. The 17 x 17′ FPD (CXDI-401 Wireless) design provides an IPX4 level of splash protection, so the unit is resistant to liquid penetration, making it suitable for operating rooms and emergency rooms.
