A new Flat Panel Detector (FPD) system, with a small footprint intended for Radiography/Fluoroscopy (R&F) rooms has been released.
The system is the smallest tilting C-arm multipurpose system on the market, and will be showcased at the 2015 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago (IL, USA), in November 2015.
The Toshiba America Medical Systems (Tustin, CA, USA) Ultimax-i FPD multipurpose system is Toshiba Medical Systems’ newest X-Ray system, and can be installed next to back walls, improving patient access and allowing for routine angiography procedures in an existing R&F space. Toshiba America Medical Systems produces radiology and cardiovascular, ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR), X-ray, and cardiovascular equipment.
The Ultimax-i FPD system can accommodate nearly 227 kg, on a wide, high-capacity table. The flat-panel detector provides 43 cm x 43 cm coverage for high-resolution imaging, with corner-to-corner full-spectrum detection, and can help reduce radiation dose by preventing unnecessary radiation exposure.
Bill Newsom, director, X-ray Vascular Business Unit, at Toshiba, said, “At Toshiba, we believe hospitals shouldn’t have to endure costly construction to renovate smaller existing R&F rooms or delay a system upgrade to expand their imaging capabilities. With Ultimax-i FPD, healthcare providers don’t have to sacrifice on advanced imaging technology, allowing them to deliver better patient care and achieve the Triple Aim of reform.”
