GE Healthcare

GE Healthcare (Booth 4839) is showcasing a full range of radiography systems to match all clinical applications and situations from stationary and dedicated chest units to mobile DR using GE's Revolution digital detector. The Definium 8000—introduced at RSNA 2005—is available in a broad range of configurations for ultimate flexibility, from a single wall stand to a full comprehensive radiographic room. The foundation of the Definium’s imaging excellence is GE’s flat-panel digital detector, which delivers one of the industry's highest detective quantum efficiency (DQE) of 77 percent. The GE digital flat-panel detector was designed to provide outstanding image quality and efficiency to address all x-ray imaging requirements.  

The Definium 5000, introduced at RSNA last year, is a floor-mounted DR system that incorporates a digital flat-panel detector technology measuring 41 x 41 cm, along with a U-arm that can fit into smaller rooms without the need of ceiling support structures for x-ray tube suspensions.  

The Definium AMX 700—the company’s top-of-the-line DR system—offers a large active image area for a variety of patients, as well as a user interface designed for the mobile workflow that offers commonality with other GE digital products to ensure smooth initialization.
