◼  R/F DIGITAL High-de(cid:31) nition imaging For Radiography professionals who demand the highest level of con(cid:31) dence, Konica Minolta has developed the AeroDR HD: our most sophisticated detector with the highest resolution and sensitivity enabling the highest image quality and lower radiation doses.1 1 Compared to CR or conventional AeroDR Ensuring safe and reliable diagnosis Anytime, anywhere With its high e(cid:31) ciency in detecting X-ray photons and wider dynamic range, Konica Minolta’s AeroDR series enables users to capture high-quality images at approxi- mately half the dose compared to conven- tional (cid:30) lm-based radiography and even a 62 % dose reduction compared to CR. The AeroDR portable detectors are suitable for both upgrades and new installations in standard X-ray systems, with our without a connection to the generator. A durable protective enclosure absorbs impact from bumps and accidental drops, while an IPX6 waterproof rating safeguards your invest- ment from inevitable (cid:29) uid spills encoun- tered during portable emergency use. The unique, built-in capacitor provides up to approx. eight hour use after only 30 minutes of charging, helping to keep your department productive on the go. Easy handling Radiographers will particularly be pleased with the fact that the AeroDR is extremely light weight (2.6 kg) which makes it very easy to position around the patients High DQE and Lower Doses 100μm Pixel size – High De(cid:31) nition views With 100 μm pixel size and 3.488 x 4.256 pixel count (up to four times more than standard resolution detectors), the AeroDR HD allows you to enlarge microstructures to conduct precise analyses required for extremities, pediatrics and other specialties where image details and dose e(cid:31) ciency are vital to diagnosis. Images remain sharp even when zooming in strongly. This espe- cially contributes to a better visibility of bone trabecular. Performance of 100 micron pixels the the day. With throughout world’s highest load resistance and bending resistance, the detector is suitable for any type of patient in di(cid:28) erent (bedside exam) positions. Intelligent Grid In a conventional method, scattered radia- tion is reduced by using (aluminium) grids. Konica Minolta’s CS7 software for AeroDR, includes the option for a “software only” solution to improve contrast: Intelligent Grid. One of the key bene(cid:30) ts for the users is to avoid risk of insu(cid:31) cient image quality caused by improper alignment of a hard- ware grid. Of course, users will also save valuable time and e(cid:28) ort for attaching and detaching the grid. www.konicaminolta.com 96 RADBOOK 2017
