The lightweight, wireless Aero DR plate is now available as a 17 x 17 inch plate. The flat panel detector incorporates Konica Minolta’s cesium iodide (CsI) scintillator, which boasts ultra-high detector quantum efficiency (DQE) for high-quality images even with minimum X-ray dose exposure. By combining the CsI panel and Konica Minolta’s image processing technology from its top-rated REGIUS systems, the Aero DR assures end users of consistent and reliable high quality imaging. The detector design fits existing wall stands and bucky trays without modifications to help a facility maximize its investment in existing equipment and deliver a universal fit solution.
