July 18, 2024 — At the Annual Meeting of AHRA (the Association for Medical Imaging Management), Agfa Radiology Solutions will demonstrate how its solutions help customers address productivity needs in an industry dealing with staffing shortages and tight budgets.
Agfa’s comprehensive portfolio supports “The Next Generation” in medical imaging by using intelligent and innovative technologies to ensure every X-ray image counts. With accurate and high-quality diagnostic information from the first image taken, retakes are reduced, speeding up workflows and enhancing the experience of radiologist, radiographer and patient.
“We understand the challenges our customers are facing in terms of staffing shortages and decreased budgets. Our productivity features and ‘one image is all it takes’ approach empower each X-ray expert to work more efficiently. Additionally, the DR 100 Essential and VALORY are designed to be budget-friendly, but still deliver all the essential functions healthcare facilities need – including our renowned MUSICA image processing software. They demonstrate our commitment to offering solutions that ensure healthcare facilities never need to compromise on image quality, regardless of their staff and budget constraints,” says Bruce Romaglia, Vice President – North America at Agfa Radiology Solutions.
For a limited time, Agfa is offering a Productivity, Safety and Security Package at no additional cost with the purchase of a DR 100s or DR 100s Essential mobile imaging solution, or a ceiling-suspended or floor-mounted VALORY X-ray room.
The package includes:
- RFID Badge Login: just a swipe of the radio frequency identification-enabled badge allows streamlined access to the DR system’s user interface, enhancing security and efficiency.
- Patient Positive Identification: a quick scan of the barcode on the patient’s wristband confirms their identity – and the system can be prepared for the exposure. A true One Click Workflow!
- SmartRotate™: this workflow assistance feature always presents the image ready for viewing, automatically. Reducing post-processing actions saves time so your radiologist can focus on reading, not rotating.
The DR 100s package also includes:
- SmartAlign: real-time tube-to-panel alignment assistance improves image quality and facilitates follow-up.
The VALORY package also includes:
- Dura-line panel in the wall bucky: this high-quality, fixed 17x17 panel offers a large field of view easily accommodating all exam types. It reduces handling and eases the staff’s workload for maximum productivity, while offering robust reliability, cost-effectiveness and potential for dose reduction.
Visit our booth at AHRA 2024, and discover Intelligent technologies for image processing and workflow assistance:
- MUSICA, which comes standard with all Agfa DR and CR systems, automatically analyses the characteristics of raw images and optimizes the processing parameters, independent of body part or dose deviation. Its high image quality and low-dose features have made MUSICA the “gold standard” in image processing for radiology departments around the world.
- The SmartXR portfolio adds X-ray intelligence to Agfa’s DR solutions, to provide image acquisition support and lighten the radiographer’s workload. Predictive workflow assistance for dose, alignment, patient positioning, image rotation and more help improve operational performance in image acquisition.
