AeroDR SYSTEM digital radiography unit, model AeroDR P-12 / P-21 with accessories

General description

The AeroDR SYSTEM digital radiography device, model AeroDR P-12 / P-21 (flat panel detector), manufactured by Konica Minolta Medical & Graphic, Inc., Japan, is designed to obtain X-ray images in digital format from standard medical X-ray machines.

The AeroDR digital radiography device is used as a system for radiology, which allows you to switch from classical analog technologies to digital technologies. Classical radiology is characterized by the use of standard X-ray cassettes, X-ray film, medical developing machines for obtaining X-ray images. When using the AeroDR digital radiography device, the X-ray image is taken directly to the detector, which in format fully corresponds to the classic cassette receiver of the X-ray machine, which in turn allows using this detector in any X-ray systems of various manufacturers without any alteration of these X-ray systems.

The principle of operation

The digital radiography device (flat-panel detector) is exposed to X-ray radiation, while the X-ray radiation is converted into an electrical signal. Then the received signal from the detector is transmitted via cable or Wi-Fi network for further processing to the operator's console (X-ray lab), after which the image is displayed on the operator's monitor to check the quality of the resulting X-ray image.

For further use for medical diagnostics, the image is transmitted to a laser multi-format camera for output to film and subsequent viewing by a radiologist, description and diagnosis, or transmitted to the diagnostic workstation of a radiologist (the doctor's workstation is not included in the digital radiography apparatus), which has special medical monitors of increased brightness and resolution abilities suitable for high-quality diagnostics. The use of the AeroDR digital radiography device allows you to completely abandon the use of conventional cassettes, films and developing machines, as well as

• significantly improve the quality of the received medical X-ray images
• increase the throughput of the X-ray department of the medical institution
• improve the quality of diagnostics
• to reduce the dose of X-ray irradiation on the patient
• to be able to store, forward, process, and output X-ray images in electronic form

The AERO DR R-12 version corresponds to the detector size – 35x43 cm.

The AERO DR R-21 version corresponds to the detector size – 43x43 cm.
