A new highly mobile and compact premium Digital Radiography (DR) system with enhanced usability features and improved image quality has been unveiled at the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists (ISRRT) congress in Seoul, Korea.
The new system has a collapsible column, is only 55.5cm wide, and weighs 349 kg, making it highly mobile, including transport in elevators. Another mobility feature is the addition of adaptive soft driving control and a front bumper sensor.
The Samsung (Seoul, Korea) GM85 DR is already available in Korea, and will be launched globally according to the regulatory schedules in each country. New workflow and usability features include a Source to Image Distance (SID) guide for detailed positioning, S-Align that shows the angle of the detector compared to the Tube Head Unit (THU), precise body positioning using click buttons on the THU, and a battery that can be charged in two to four hours.
The GM85 unit also offers the S-Vue advanced imaging engine, the SimGrid that reduces radiation scatter effects without using a conventional grid, and tube and line enhancement for improved clarity of the tube and line in chest images.
Dongsoo Jun, president, Health & Medical Equipment Business, Samsung Electronics, said, “We are excited to introduce the new mobile digital X-ray at the ISRRT, being held first-ever here in Korea. Driven by Samsung’s relentless spirit of innovation the GM85’s enhanced mobility and streamlined workflow will enable users to experience a new level of efficiency with a mobile DR system without jeopardizing image quality. Leveraging Samsung’s deep expertise in user-friendly functions and advanced imaging technology, Samsung will take the lead in providing a spectrum of diagnostic and patient-centric tools to meet the various needs of both care provider and patient.”
