Konica Minolta Medical Imaging introduces a revolutionary auto-stitching system for use with the Aero digital radiography (DR) flat panel detector. It delivers high image quality and excellent workflow. A moving slit detects the upper and lower edge of the field, determines the number of exposures, and then quickly and accurately moves the detector to capture the images. The exposure is ready in only five seconds. Compared to traditional computed radiography (CR)/DR stitching systems, Konica Minolta’s auto stitching process can dramatically reduce patient exam time and improve technologist workflow.
