Carestream Spotlights Latest Enhancements to Imaging Systems

Oct. 22, 2014 — Carestream will highlight the latest digital radiography (DR) X-ray system enhancements to its imaging systems at RSNA 2014.

These include:

• A new feature for its fully automated Carestream DRX-Evolution DR Room that allows operators to manually move the overhead tube with assistance from the system’s motors to help reduce technologist fatigue
• A ceiling-mounted tube option for its DRX-Ascend System to provide versatile positioning for a variety of imaging exams.

Software for Carestream’s DRX and CR systems includes an optional bone suppression feature that can improve visibility of lung nodules and collects radiation dose information using the IHE Radiation Dose Monitoring Profile. The software then distributes the information to a healthcare provider’s PACS.

Carestream’s imaging software also offers companion images that can enhance visualization of tubes, PICC lines and pneumothorax.
