Viztek

Viztek (Booth 9131) is introducing a portable DR system at RSNA. The 14-by-17-inch portable DR unit integrates easily with most existing wall stands and table buckys without modification, the company says. It delivers superior quality images in as few as five seconds. The Viztek DR panel is enclosed in a durable, lightweight shock- and water-resistant casing that weighs only 8.6 lbs. Viztek’s latest DR technology has the highest lp/mm at 3.6 with a 100 percent fill factor, supporting efficient collection of light and imaging from multiple exams. Additionally, the DR features a 14-bit a/d conversion.
 
Working with standard grids, the portable Viztek DR detector offers flexible positioning and is capable of upright, tabletop and numerous special views. The new DR detector will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2009.
