Digital Radiography Systems For Your Medical Facility From Dicom Solutions

Many medical facilities, even smaller ones, are making the switch from film imaging to digital radiography. There are many reasons why this is so. The high cost of film, and the time it takes for chemical development, all factor into the decision to change to digital radiography equipment. In times past, the cost for getting set up with digital radiography was very cost prohibitive for all but the largest hospitals. Now, however, the price of digital radiography systems continues to drop, and even small and medium sized medical and veterinary offices can afford to make the change to digital imaging systems. Dicom Solutions offers several digital xray systems designed to meet your medical needs and budget.

DR digital radiography systems are used in a wide variety of medical offices, and for good reason. DR stands for direct digital radiography. DR is the fastest digital imaging available at this time, and that speed can be used to improve your office productivity. DR digital imaging can also be used away from your home office, a distinct advantage for veterinary digital radiography which requires the physician to take images out in the field.

DR systems use a collection plate rather than film or cassettes for collecting the image data for digital radiography. This saves in operating costs over the life of the equipment. DR also uses less radiation to capture those digital images, another benefit that comes with the switch to digital.

Dicom Solutions offers several different DR systems from which you can choose, including premiere brands like SmartRAD, X-Caliber, Universal Digital Systems, Q-Rad and Naomi. Both Naomi and X-Caliber offer CCD imaging, which is Charge Coupling Device technology. The X-Caliber operates with no internal moving parts, leading to fewer replacement parts being needed for maintenance. The different components that go into the X-Caliber can be individually replaced without the need for replacing the entire unit.

For emergency rooms, trauma specialists often turn to the Universal Digital Systems digital radiography units. Their QV-800 system features an integrated C-Arm design that allows for constant alignment between the image receptor and xray tube. Patient images can be taken with the patient standing, seated or lying down, for greater flexibility and ease of use.

Dicom Solutions offers these and other types of digital radiography equipment suitable for use in small to large medical or veterinary facilities and priced to fit your budget.
