Wireless portable DR from Philips available in the U.S.
Philips Healthcare has released its wireless portable direct radiography (DR) detector, the FD-W 17, in the United States.
The solution gives radiologists the capability to move about in the DR room, which is useful for capturing images of patients with limited mobility, who can now undergo x-ray exams from their bed or wheelchair. The device also is useful for imaging trauma and orthopedic patients, according to Philips. In addition, the Eleva user interface and image processing capabilities of the system allow for it to expedite exams, the firm said.
