Agfa Digital Radiography (DR) Portfolio Overview

Overview of the Agfa DR portfolio: DR 600, DR 800, DX-D 300, DR 400, DX-D 100+, DR 100e, DR Retrofit and DR detectors, all powered by MUSICA image processing.

Agfa Digital Radiography (DR) Portfolio Overview

The Agfa DR portfolio offers a solution for every imaging environment, from large hospitals to facilities with limited budgets. All systems use intelligent MUSICA image processing for right-first-time images and the potential for dose reduction. All solutions are designed around the ALARA principle, and Cesium Iodide detectors combined with MUSICA can reduce dose by up to 60% compared to traditional Barium Fluoro Bromide CR systems.

DR 600

High productivity ceiling suspended DR room.

  • Advanced automation and high image quality
  • ZeroForce technology for fast, easy movement of the tube, wall stand and table in all directions
  • EasyStitch technology for automatic stitching of full leg / full spine images

DR 800

General radiography and fluoroscopy in one room.

  • General radiography, fluoroscopy and free exposure with one investment
  • Skeletal, chest, abdomen and weight bearing examinations
  • Barium studies, arthrography, cystography, myelography and catheter placement
  • LiveVision technology for remote, dose-free positioning
  • Dynamic MUSICA for processing static and dynamic images with improved noise reduction

DX-D 300

Fully motorized, floor-mounted U-arm DR system.

  • Small footprint, easy installation and cost-effective, suited to small rooms
  • Supports lateral and full leg / full spine examinations with automatic stitching
  • Suited to orthopaedic environments and patients with limited mobility

DR 400

Complete, scalable floor-mounted DR system for cost-conscious facilities.

  • High throughput at a low cost per exam
  • Can be expanded as the facility's needs grow
  • Table with fully floating tabletop for easy positioning

DX-D 100+

Mobile DR system for ICU, emergency and operating room.

  • Fast image acquisition and immediate approval, transfer and access
  • FreeView technology to retract the telescopic arm during transport
  • Operable by one person and highly maneuverable

DR 100e

Compact mobile DR unit for bedside and ICU imaging.

  • Easily passes through narrow corridors
  • Cost-effective digital imaging at the point of care

DR Retrofit

Fast conversion of analog and CR equipment to DR.

  • Usable for fixed, mobile, mammography and full leg / full spine systems
  • Protects existing investments with fast images and a smooth workflow

DR detectors

  • Fixed, tethered and wireless detectors in a range of sizes
  • The smallest size fits the NICU incubator tray
  • Gadolinium Oxysulfide (GOS) or Cesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator

Specialized MUSICA versions

  • MUSICA Neonatal
  • MUSICA Mammography
  • MUSICA Full Leg/Full Spine
  • MUSICA Chest+
  • MUSICA Bariatric Abdomen
  • MUSICA Dynamic for Fluoroscopy

Intelligence at the modality level

  • Before imaging: personalized dose settings and smart collimation control
  • During imaging: smart automatic exposure control and automatic MUSICA processing
  • After imaging: automatic image rotation, automatic positioning check and alert generation
