◼  R/F DIGITAL The world's irst Twin Robotic X-ray scanner lets the robots move – not the patients Multitom Rax the irst Twin Robotic X-Ray system Multitom Rax is the irst X-ray scanner that allows exams and diagnoses under natural weight-bearing Multitom Rax (Robotic Advanced X-ray) enables a wide variety of examinations in a range of clinical areas to be performed using only a single X-ray system for the (cid:31)rst time. In addition to conventional 2D X-rays, the system also makes it possible to perform luoroscopy examinations, angiography applications and even 3D imaging. The operator is always in full control of the system’s movement. By the push of a button, both robotic arms are being positioned fully automatically around the patient, improving both safety and convenience. There is no need to move the patient on the system or to change rooms for further imaging procedures, which makes examinations less painful and less time-consuming. Work processes in hospitals can be improved and economic e(cid:31)ciency increased. The new system can be used for emergency medicine, ortho- pedics, angiography or luoroscopy, and can thus help optimize clinical work processes. The detector can be freely positioned. Quite diferent X-ray images, both static and dynamic, can be taken in a single room using a single system. That saves time and avoids unnecessary costs, since specially installed modalities for examina- tions that are not performed on a daily basis can be uneconomical for hospitals. On the other hand, systems that are in regular use can cause lengthy waiting times, and this is where the new X-ray scan- ner can help ease the burden. First time robotic precision in X-ray The two ceiling-mounted arms can be moved into position automat- ically, and they can also be moved manually, servo motor supported, when required – to make ine adjustments, for example. While one arm moves the X-ray tube, the other carries the 43 x 43 cm detector, which can record static, dynamic and real 3D sequences. With conventional radiography systems, the detector often has to be placed in an external holder. In addition to the extra time required, this also involves the challenge of positioning the tube at exactly 90 degrees. Multitom Rax does this at the push of a button 102 RADBOOK 2017
