Critical care demands quick imaging results. Mobile digital radiography (DR) delivers X-ray capabilities directly to patients. This bedside access reduces transfer time and patient movement – significant advantages for ICU and emergency patients. Agfa’s DR 100s and mobile DR systems provide dependable, adaptable imaging solutions.
What Makes Digital Radiography Essential in Critical Care?
Digital radiography transforms imaging in critical care units. Portable systems, like the mobile DR, bring imaging to emergency rooms, ICUs, and operating theatres. You can capture images without the need to transfer patients, reducing risks and improving comfort.
The DR100s comes equipped with the SmartXR™ feature that reduces user error and enhances accuracy. This ensures that you capture images that offer accurate final results. These elements in critical care make a difference because delays may impact a patient’s stability. DR systems such as Agfa’s DR100s ensure the best results as they can minimise setup time.
An Overview of DR 100s
Critical care requires efficient processes. The DR100s make imaging straightforward. Its push-and-operate system moves smoothly through restricted spaces. It excels through its SmartXR™ features, which minimise user errors and increase precision for reliable imaging. Agfa’s SmartXR™ technology assists during image capture. Images can be captured without moving patients, decreasing risks and maintaining comfort.
Image quality shapes diagnosis and treatment decisions. The DR100s produce clear, sharp images to aid swift and precise decisions. SmartXR™ optimises image settings to reduce error, ensuring clarity every time. High-resolution imaging clearly shows anatomical details, revealing subtle irregularities.
❖ Reducing Patient Transfers with Mobile Digital Radiography
Moving patients within a hospital poses risks. For critical patients, transferring to the imaging department is challenging. The mobile DRsystem reduces this need and travels directly to the patient. With this, you avoid the time and effort of moving critical patients. Bedside imaging with mobile DR makes a significant impact on ICU patients who require regular monitoring.
❖ SmartXR™: The Assistant for Accurate and Efficient Imaging
The DR 100s integrates SmartXR™, which supports imaging accuracy. You gain precision without needing to adjust settings manually SmartXR™ makes it easier to capture images correctly on the first try, even under pressure. With mobile DR, the SmartXR™ feature empowers you to capture diagnostic-quality images quickly.
❖ Improved Infection Control with Bedside Imaging
Infections are a major concern in critical care. Moving equipment like a mobile X ray machine to the patient’s room minimises exposure risks. Bedside imaging avoids transport through common hospital areas, reducing infection spread.
The DR 100s’ compact design enables smooth operation within restricted spaces. Bedside imaging with mobile DR is a safer option for high-risk patients.
❖ Enhancing Efficiency with SmartDose™ Technology (Availability Varies)
SmartDose™ technology is designed to control radiation exposure without losing image quality. Though not yet available on all DR 100s models, this feature will support safer imaging practices.
The mobile X ray machine meets these demands effectively, ensuring imaging support without delay or compromise. With features like SmartXR™ and, in some models, SmartDose™, Agfa provides tools that simplify complex tasks. So, are you planning to select a mobile DR technology that equips critical care units with systems matching intensive care demands? Choosing Agfa’s mobile DR technology means equipping your critical care unit with tools that meet the demands of intensive, time-sensitive environments.
