AGFA CR 35-X: a versatile imaging digitiser for decentralised digital radiography
AGFA's CR 35-X is a CR (Computed Radiography) digitising system that is the ideal solution for medical facilities looking to optimise their imaging processes while controlling costs. Thanks to its compact design, it fits easily into any clinical environment, including mobile units, small practices or decentralised hospital departments. It requires only a standard power supply, allowing for great flexibility in positioning, even within radiology rooms, provided it is combined with suitable X-ray shielding.
This digitiser is designed for a wide range of applications, from general radiography to paediatrics, orthopaedic examinations of the extremities and dental imaging. It is also particularly suitable as a complementary solution in an environment already equipped with a centralised CR system. By integrating cassette identification, image processing and transmission functions, the CR 35-X contributes to smooth and optimised imaging workflow management thanks to the dedicated CR user station.
In terms of image quality, the CR 35-X offers three different resolution modes, with pixel pitches of 150, 100 and 50 µm, corresponding to resolutions of 6, 10 and 20 pixels per millimetre respectively. It offers standard scanning at 6 pixels/mm for all plate sizes, while 18 x 24 cm and 24 x 30 cm cassettes can be read at very high resolution at 20 pixels/mm, providing exceptional detail for specific examinations, particularly in orthopaedics.
The CR 35-X reads up to 71 plates per hour, depending on size and application, making it a high-performance system suitable for moderate to high volumes. It is compatible with most existing X-ray systems, enabling a smooth transition to digital radiography without the need for heavy investment or workflow changes. In addition, its ergonomic user interface with LCD screen provides immediate feedback on system status and any errors, simplifying daily maintenance.
The CR 35-X meets the most stringent safety and quality requirements, with European (CE, TüV) and North American (UL, cUL) certifications. Its robust, ISO-certified design ensures reliability, longevity and compliance with international medical standards for both safety and performance.
