Agfa lands Ohio CR install

Agfa HealthCare has been selected by Kettering Health Network of Dayton, Ohio, for its computed radiography (CR) technology, the CR 30-X and DX-G, which will be installed at two of the health network’s outpatient imaging centers.

The tabletop CR 30-X can be integrated with local PACS networks, and DX-G supports both standard phosphor plates and needle-based detectors. The system also can support a mixture of cassette sizes and multiple patients, the Mortsel, Belgium-based company stated.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
