DX-M

The DX-M digitizer unites the superb image quality necessary for mammography, with high throughput, delivered by a drop-and-go buffer-based workflow.

The combination of needle-based detectors and standard phosphor plates with specific cassettes and image resolution mode makes the DX-M ideal for a broad range of applications, including general radiography, mammography, orthopedics/extremities, dental, pediatrics/neonatal and full leg/full spine.

DX-M is a CR solution with needle-based detectors to reach the high level quality demanded by mammography. One that has the potential for dose reduction for all studies - particularly neonatology and pediatrics, where dose reduction is crucial. That combines superior image quality with high throughput, delivered by a unique five cassette drop-and-go buffer, and a very fast preview - all housed in a compact system.

Suitable for following market segments

General radiography

Three image resolution modes

It offers three different image resolution modes: 50 μm pixel pitch (20 pixels/mm), 100 μm pixel pitch (10 pixels/mm) and 150 μm pixel pitch (6.7 pixels/mm).

Maximum productivity and smooth workflow

The drop-and-go buffer and fast preview eliminate waiting times and facilitate a continuous workflow. The five-cassette drop-and-go buffer can handle a mix of different sizes of both needle-based detectors and standard phosphor plates. The automatic cassette handling makes DX-M highly productive and user-friendly. As a central digitizer in the radiography department, the DX-M can serve multiple rooms. With its small footprint, it can fit into the tightest spaces, including the X-ray room or even a narrow corridor.

The right choice

To eliminate any confusion, needle-based detector cassettes are gray, while standard phosphor plate cassettes are orange, so that there is no chance of the user making a mistake when selecting the desired cassette.

Embedded patient ID

Each plate has an embedded memory that stores the data entered during identification by no-touch radiofrequency tagging. Identification data and images are linked from the beginning throughout the entire digital processing system.
