• Along tubehead reach gives you easy access to the patient in crowded rooms.
• Two touch-screen displays enable prior image review, technique changes and image acceptance or rejection from either location.

Fast, high-quality images in tight spaces for the sickest patients:

• SmartGrid Software reduces the appearance of X-ray scatter improving image quality and readability.
• Consistent, precise images mean fewer retakes and support for faster, more accurate diagnosis.
• A powerful 32kW generator, dual focal spot tube and EVP Plus image processing combine to deliver superb image quality.
• DRX-Revolution offers prior image review including techniques and exposure history by using query/retrieve from PACS.
• Optional Tube & Line Visualization software instantly verify placement of tubes and peripherally inserted central catheter lines in seriously ill or injured patients.
• The DRX detector is available in both gadolinium oxysulfide (GoS) scintillator or caesium iodide (CsI) formats for dose-sensitive exams.
