Digital X-ray machines and solutions for radiographic imaging 
The use of chemicals in traditional analog techniques is associated with occupational health hazards and unpleasant odours. The costs of conventional x-ray archives are high in terms of space, time and money. Digital radiography represents an environmentally friendly and high-quality alternative. Reduced radiation exposure for patients is a further advantage over conventional radiography. Digital and analog imaging systems differ with regard to image production and image display. However, digital X-ray images are subject to the same rules of physics as conventional images. Instead of viewing photographic film using a lightbox, digital images are visualized with a PC and display monitor. Thus, the transition to digital radiography involves only minor changes in established workflows. Patient handling is not affected.
Not interested in buying a new digital X-ray machine at the moment? No problem!
Your conventional X-ray machine can easily be transitioned with low costs to an digital X-ray machine by the addition of a flat panel detector (DR) or a CR scanner in combination with a medical display monitor. While continuing to use your existing radiography system, you can reap the benefits of high-quality digital radiographic images.
 | We offer you an extensive selection of digital X-ray machines, mobile X-ray units, portable X-ray systems and DR upgrade sets (for your conventional X-ray machine) for orthopaedic and surgical practices, radiology and hospitals as well as medical services including X-ray software (dicomPACS® by OR Technology) |
Digital direct radiography (DR) produces images of outstanding quality. A flat panel detector directly converts the pattern of incident X-ray energy into electrical signals. Imaging plates, cassettes and X-ray scanners are no longer needed . The X-ray images are available for diagnosis immediately after exposure.
DR systems can build upon existing conventional X-ray equipment. Digital upgrades do not necessarily involve modification of the X-ray machine or X-ray unit. The system‘s Auto Exposure Detection (AED) works without changes to the running system or cable connections. The new 35 x 43 cm X-ray detectors are designed to fit perfectly into the Bucky tray of existing X-ray units.
Direct radiography systems have high throughput and are ideal for emergency medicine and intensive care.

X-ray inspection using imaging plates functions with cassettes of the same size and shape as conventional film radiography. After the normal X-ray procedure, the cassette is placed into a X-ray scanner and read out.
Digital images are generated, saved and can be viewed on a computer monitor within seconds (computed radiography; CR). Imaging plate (IP) systems using cassettes are cost-saving X-ray solutions and amortise quickly. The existing X-ray machine must not be retrofitted. This technology produces high quality digital images.

Digital images representing the pattern of incident X-rays – whether generated from direct or computed radiography systems – share a number of special characteristics. Digital signal detection and digital display offer new opportunities for regulating brightness and manually adjusting contrasts. As a result, details such as hairline fractures become apparent. Soft tissues can be visualised thanks to manual adjustments in the level of lightness and darkness within the same image.
Digitisation has a number of additional advantages. All images (X-rays, MRI, digital pictures) as well as documents (admission notes, findings reports, faxes, etc.) can be attached to patients’ medical records and are readily accessible. Backup and archive solutions guarantee quick access and data security in keeping with relevant medical products laws (depending on the manufacturer!).
Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) are user-friendly software solutions for administering the production and use of X-ray images: from exposure to image analysis, archival storage and file sharing.
The software enables users to quickly and easily share and view images. Depending on the manufacturer, systems can include numerous advanced features including electronic fax, document management, operative reports and X-ray histories. Software modules for 3D reconstruction, surgical planning, voice recognition, and statistics can also be integrated.
dicomPACS® by OR Technologies - Made in Germany - is a sophisticated, high-tech image management solution based on vendor neutral archive technology (VNA) and ideally suited for private practices and hospitals. With dicomPACS®, all images generated by digital X-ray, CT, MRI and sonography devices, as well as diverse documents (e.g., admission notes, medical findings, medical histories, faxes) are stored in a digital patient folder and readily accessible. Our carefully designed archive and backup solutions guarantee quick access and data security in keeping with the relevant medical devices act. Furthermore, the software can easily be integrated into all common information management systems (e.g., KIS, RIS and EPA). For more information, about our dicomPACS image solution click here.

PACS can interface with all administration software systems. This integration allows immediate access to patient data when submitting an X-ray order or recalling images from the archive. Interfaces can be established for GDT, BDT, HL7 and DICOM standards, as well as vender-specific systems.
Imaging equipment for X-ray, ultrasound, MRI and arthroscopic examinations can be integrated into the existing computer network. Furthermore, faxes and other digital documents can be attached to the patient record. With the appropriate software solution, all information for a given patient is available at the click of a button and can be shared with other caregivers. The digital coordination of all data pertaining to a patient means that, as required per law, the full medical record can be accessed for many years in the future.
Existing hardware can readily be integrated into the new system. Additional components such as printers, X-ray film scanners and other hardware can be purchased and integrated into the network at a time. Please consult your PACS provider concerning the specifications and requirements for servers, work stations and monitors.
