Agfa Healthcare recently announced that its offerings at the 2016 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) will center on the theme of “Care You Can See" across the company's entire product portfolio.

The last two decades have brought a series of changes in medicine, technology and healthcare legislation that have impacted the field of diagnostic imaging and the role of the radiologist. Coupled with these changes, imaging volume is declining¹ due to costs as well as concerns over patient radiation exposure.² This environment often makes it challenging for radiology groups to protect their financial performance and ensure they deliver high-quality studies and readings. Fortunately, advances in imaging and information technology have emerged, helping radiologists increase the utilization of diagnostic imaging and moving the radiologist into a more central role in integrated patient care.³

Agfa HealthCare has expanded its DX-D Retrofit line with the DX-D 60.  This versatile, vendor-neutral direct radiography (DR) detector easily fits into existing radiography rooms and provides DR workflow without the higher cost of room replacement. In addition to virtually instant image access, technologists do not have to rotate the 17x17 inch DX-D 60 for radiology exams that would otherwise require portrait and landscape detector rotations, thus greatly improving image acquisition speed and workflow.
