A High-Performance and Flexible Digital Radiography System
The Kodak DIRECTVIEW CR 500 is a digital radiography solution designed to meet the needs of medical facilities aiming to modernize their infrastructure while controlling costs. This compact, modular, single-cassette system seamlessly integrates into radiology departments, intensive care units, clinics, and other settings requiring reliable and high-performance equipment.
With its rapid processing speed, it can handle over 60 cassettes per hour, enhancing the workflow efficiency of medical teams. Image display in 54 seconds or less optimizes patient care and accelerates the diagnostic process. Image quality is ensured by Kodak DirectView PTS software, used in the brand's high-end systems, providing the sharpness and precision essential for clinical interpretation.
Its intuitive user interface allows for quick adoption, reducing staff training time. The control screen enables real-time monitoring of cassette processing and ensures effective management of radiographic images. The system operates in ambient light, eliminating the need for a darkroom for plate reading, which improves user comfort and integration into the medical environment.
The CR 500 offers extensive connectivity to imaging systems and hospital infrastructures. It is DICOM-compatible, facilitating image exchange and archiving on a PACS network. This interoperability enhances collaboration among healthcare professionals and provides quick access to exams from various workstations.
Designed for maximum durability, this system is robust and tested for intensive use. Its lightweight and durable cassettes ensure prolonged use without image quality degradation. Additional software, such as Kodak DirectView EVP for contrast and image latitude enhancement, and Kodak DirectView V3 for optimizing prints and screen displays, allows the system to be tailored to the specific needs of each facility.
The integration of internal storage for approximately 1,500 images provides quick access to the most recent images, reducing the need for immediate archiving on external servers. The queue management system optimizes exam organization and facilitates patient tracking.
With the Kodak DIRECTVIEW CR 500, healthcare facilities have a powerful and flexible tool suited to both initial digitization needs and gradual scaling towards a fully digital infrastructure. This system offers an effective solution for improving productivity, ensuring consistent image quality, and simplifying radiographic exam processing.
