OR Technology installs Medici x-ray in northeast Germany

The radiology department of a Western Pomerania hospital has installed a direct digital x-ray unit from OR Technology, based in Rostock, Germany.

The retrofit Medici DR 1717-Duo solution includes two Varian PaxScan 4343R flat detectors installed in the bucky table and wall stand, and a PC with a touchscreen. The acquisition software for x-ray images dicomPACS DX-R forms the core of the system. A Stadler 8X series generator is integrated in the system and also runs on the DX-R software.

OR Technology said that the integrated multimedia radiographic positioning guide helps the user with notes, photos and videos. The correct setup for every exam is clearly illustrated. After capturing, x-ray images are transferred into the hospital’s PACS in the DICOM format. The system also communicates with the existing patient management system for the exchange of task requests.

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