Agfa Digital Radiography Solutions for Equine Imaging
Agfa wireless mobile DR, DR Retrofit and the CR 15-X digitizer for equine veterinarians, all with MUSICA image processing.

Agfa offers equine veterinarians both computed radiography (CR) and direct radiography (DR). All systems use MUSICA image processing, optimized for large animals, which automatically adjusts the processing parameters independent of body part and dose deviation.
The MUSICA workstation has the same user interface for CR and DR, and all solutions support veterinary DICOM features, DICOM archiving and PACS connectivity.
