A flexible computed radiography (CR) system has been designed to be operated vertically or horizontally to handle image processing in compact spaces.

Carestream (Rochester, NY, USA) will introduce its compact new Vita Flex CR system that delivers excellent image quality and can be positioned virtually anywhere in a healthcare facility. This new system’s flexible design enables it to operate vertically as well as horizontally, so it can process CR cassettes sitting on the floor, a tabletop or desktop or even from the back of a van. The Vita Flex CR system will be presented at the 2014 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, held in Chicago (IL, USA), during November 30-December 5, and will be available worldwide on December 8, 2014.

The cost-effective Vita Flex CR system can process multiple cassette sizes, including: 8 x 10 inches, 10 x 12 inches, 24 x 30 cm, 14 x 14 inches, and 14 x 17 inches. This new system can address the diverse needs of imaging centers, private practices, urgent care facilities, smaller hospitals and mobile imaging operations, as well as orthopedic, veterinary, and chiropractic providers. Vita Flex CR is designed with three modular components to make it simple to install and service. It is available with a choice of two throughput rates—either 30 or 45 plates per hour.

Vita Flex has a touch screen that allows users to rapidly and easily select desired body regions and views to speed the imaging process. Technique data can be acquired automatically, eliminating the need for manual entry and the possibility of inconsistent X-ray exposures among different users. A veterinary product is also available and includes specialized software and cassettes.

“Like our other Vita CR systems, this new model is designed to help facilities of all types and sizes move smoothly and affordably to digital imaging. Carestream’s Image Suite software plays a pivotal role in that transition by providing a comprehensive package of image capture and management capabilities for a very affordable price,” said Heidi McIntosh, Carestream’s marketing manager for global X-ray solutions.

Image Suite software allows patients to be registered on-site or remotely using a web-based interface. Images can be enhanced using slide bars on the screen to adjust contrast, brightness, or detail. Specialized measurement tools provide diagnostic data for orthopedic or chiropractic imaging. Imaging providers can use automatic or manual stitching to paste individual images together to create the long-length view that is desired.
