Mobile x-ray systems go wireless

In addition to supporting popular GE and Siemens mobile x-ray systems, the Carestream DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit will be integrated with three Shimadzu systems beginning in October. The mobile retrofit kit allows healthcare providers to upgrade selected mobile x-ray systems to DR technology through the use of its wireless, cassette-size DRX-1 detector. This wireless DR system can increase on-site productivity and deliver immediate access to images, which can help enhance care for critically ill patients in emergency rooms, operating rooms and the ICU. The DRX-1 detector also eliminates cables and tethers typically required by most DR-based systems.
