Indiana pediatric hospital installs Agfa CR system

Riley Hospital for Children, a pediatric healthcare facility in Indianapolis, has purchased Agfa HealthCare’s DX-S system for its neonatal intensive care unit.

The DX-S is a CR system that uses the DirectriX needle-based detector solution and Scanhead line-to-line CR simulation and light collection technology.  DirectriX improves x-ray sensitivity, while the line-to-line Scanhead system produces the image, allowing portable x-rays to be completed quickly to minimize disruption in the nursery environment.  The DX-S system at Riley includes Agfa’s digital radiography image processing software, Musica Platinum, which is tuned to enhance pediatric image processing.

The 350-bed Riley Hospital and Riley Hospital at Clarian North serve more than 215,000 inpatients and outpatients annually.
