Test this clever motorised table at MEDICA and the RSNA
Provotec GmbH & Co KG reports that its Prognost XPE table series is now on sale globally.
‘The mobile patient positioning table with motorised, elevating and floating tabletop allows variable patient positioning as well as optimal use of modern X-ray tube/image receptor combinations. If using a fixed working height, but needing the advantage of a mobile table with the floating table top, then the Prognost XP is the right choice. Neither line cable nor electricity is necessary,’ the firm explains.
‘All versions can be equipped with a Bucky, cassette holder with fixed grid or detector holder for transportable digital panels, and are moveable longitudinally under the table top.’
Provotec also extended its product range with PEDS – complete, fully digital X-ray systems with ceiling or floor tube stand, generator, DR detector, digital radiographic control console and Prognost XPE table. ‘Due to special detector housings, the systems can be configured with different types of detectors. The digital radiographic control console provides complete control of all image capture functions within the examination room, as it controls the detector and X-ray exposure equipment while providing upstream connectivity to the hospital HIS/RIS and downstream connectivity to DICOM workstations, archives and printers. In addition, the equipment provides excellent post-processing tools for image quality assurance.’
Basic functions:
• DICOM Print features, DICOM Storage SCU, -SCP DICOM Storage Commitment SCU, -SCP
• DICOM Query/Retrieve SCU, -SCP.
A selection of further software packages includes DICOM worklist, MPPS, a barcode reader, advanced image processing software, and stitching software.
