With three con�gurations – Fully Automated, Hybrid and Standard-Q – the DRX-Evolution offers you DR imaging with

precisely the scale and features you need. It can �t your facility’s size, work�ow and budget.

Rest assured, whichever con�guration is best for you, you can count on superb image quality – thanks to Carestream’s

advanced EVP-Plus image-processing software. And, as always, you can rely on Carestream Health’s professional services

as a single source of expert support, optimizing your system’s reliability and performance.

X FAC TO R

As with the entire DRX-Evolution system, the DRX detector itself lets you select the option best suited to your needs. These include:

• The DRX-1 Detector with gadolinium (GOS) scintillator for general radiograph imaging

• The DRX-1C Detector with cesium iodide (Csl), with increased DQE and MTF, for dose-sensitive applications such as pediatrics

• A 17 in. x 17 in. (43 x 43 cm) stationary GOS detector, or a low-dose, cesium (CsI) �at-panel option for facilities that prefer a larger, non-portable detector

The High-performance DRX Detector

Carestream has launched six generations of DR technology, with greater advances at every step. Now, the �exibility of X-Factor thinking meets the automation of a real DR suite. The key is the advanced, wireless, cassette-size DRX Detector. Its portability and ease of positioning help even the most dif�cult exams go quickly and smoothly. And the rapid speed of wireless DR technology means the image will appear on the console in seconds.

OUR EXPERTISE + YOUR VALUED INPUT COMBINE TO DELIVER PRECISELY THE ADVANTAGES YOU NEED:

Easy-to-use, Integrated Operator Console

The DRX-Evolution lets you control all imaging functions, including generator operation, digital-image acquisition, and processing from a single, space-saving console. Its �exible user interface, with touchscreen control, can be customized to match your clinical work�ow. The console also supports Automated Procedure Recognition (APR) and multi-exam work�ow protocols such as DxIOD, IHE Scheduled Work�ow and IHE Consistent Presentation of Images.

Easy-positioning Table, for Fully Automated & Hybrid Solutions

Designed for general radiography exams, including trauma, this versatile, �xed table enhances work�ow by simplifying patient positioning for a broad range of projections.

It features a four-way �oating top, which can readily accommodate patients up to 600 lbs. (272 kg). Motorized table movements allow convenient automatic tracking of the detector in the table and the overhead X-ray tube. For ease of use and patient safety, table movement is initiated through double-tap foot pedals.

THREE CONFIGURATIONS PUT YOU IN CONTROL.Now, you can create a customized DR suite that matches your speci�c work�ow.

THE FULLY AUTOMATED SOLUTIONThe DRX-Evolution offers automated operation to enhance ease of use and optimize work�ow for the busiest radiology department.

The Compact and Ergonomical Motorized Wall Stand

Flexible and ergonomically designed, this wall stand saves space, enhances work�ow, is easy to use and simpli�es patient positioning.

Wide Range of Motion

This system’s Bucky has a vertical range of motion from the �oor up to 71 in. (180 cm). Perform horizontal projections with Bucky tilt capability reaching from negative vertical (–20°) to horizontal (90°). Lock the Bucky at any tilt angle, which is displayed on the Bucky arm. An optional low-pro�le, �oor-mounted rail system allows the entire wall stand to move laterally. The tracking and centering feature enables automatic alignment of the detector with the overhead tube (up and down and along the optional rail).

Broad Range of Exams

This wall stand is designed for upright examinations such as chest, lateral cervical spine, standing knee and more. Four contoured sides allow patients to wrap their arms around the Bucky to stand close to the detector to decrease image blur. Position the Bucky horizontally for upper extremity studies or under an optional, moveable table for projections of supine patients.

The side-to-side swing feature makes it easy to perform cross-table exams of patients on gurneys. You can control system movement and collimator operation remotely or from the keypads on either side of the wall stand.

Minimize Positioning Time with the Motorized, Synchronized Overhead Tube

The DRX-Evolution’s overhead tube automatically tracks detector movement (wall stand or elevating table) for fast source-to-detector alignment. Auto-centering and auto-perpendicularity capabilities enhance productivity further still.

Pre-programmed tube and Bucky positions, generator parameters and collimator settings maximize technologist ef�ciency, so that the equipment automatically moves into position. Asymmetric-collimation capability allows the top or bottom blade to remain �xed while moving the other to easily control patient exposure.

Optional Linear Tomography*

This feature is designed to bring anatomical structures into focus in a prede�ned plane – then blur or eliminate the details of the structures above and below the plane, to support the ef�cacy of procedures such as Intravenous Pyelograms (IVPs). Movement control is fully automatic, and switching to perform a tomography exam is fast and easy.

Optional Long-length Imaging

Capture a wide range of vertebral and long-bone images with your patient in an upright or supine position. Plus, the system automatically aligns, captures and stitches the images for fast and convenient imaging.

*Not commercially available in the U.S.

THE STANDARD-Q SOLUTIONWith this non-motorized system, you can upgrade to ef�cient DR capability at an affordable cost.

Handle a Wide Range of Exams with our Ergonomically Designed Wall Stand

Standing exams are now easier, thanks to extensive vertical travel range – from 13.75 in. (34.9 cm) minimal center-to-�oor distance for weight-bearing knees with pediatric patients, up to 74.25 in. (188.6 cm) for upright adult examinations.

Elevating Float-top Table

The Standard-Q elevating �oat-top table has a patient-weight capacity of 650 lbs. (296 kg). Its extra-wide design accommodates the full range of patient types comfortably. A fail-safe electromagnetic breaking system and collision-avoidance feature help ensures patient and operator safety. The table lowers easily to accommodate stretcher and wheelchair patients.

Rotating Detector Tray

The unique, rotating detector tray for the table and wall stand allows quick and controlled manual portrait or landscape rotation of the DRX Detector without lifting it out of the tray. Tray locks provide safe placement and removal of the detector.

Transbay Option

A non-motorized overhead tube with DRX Detector, paired with 39.3 ft (12 m) longitudinal rails, allows for rapid imaging in facilities with multiple trauma-bay con�gurations.

THE HYBRID SOLUTIONThis hybrid con�guration utilizes a motorized wall stand and non-motorized overhead tube for an ideal balance of performance and economy.

Semi-automatic Design Increases Ef�ciency

Save time and effort with controls positioned for convenience and ef�ciency. Monitor exams easily and accurately with our color LCD – featuring self-righting display of techniques and key data. These include SID, kVp/mAs, exam type, tube-head angle, active detector, auto-centering and auto-tracking. Simple collimator controls are positioned for easy adjustment. An automatic collimator option with additional internal �ltration is available for added convenience.
