Agfa HealthCare launches new family of entry level CR solutions at ECR 2011

- Basic CR solutions offer same high image quality as Agfa HealthCare’s most advanced CR solutions, but at a lower price point.
- Range covers both genrad and mammography imaging.

(ECR, Hall A, Booth #103) By launching its new family of basic computed radiography (CR) solutions at ECR 2011, Agfa HealthCare is showcasing a cost-effective way for hospitals to adopt CR. The CR 30-X, CR 30-x and CR 30-Xm all offer robustness and serviceability, as well as the top-notch image processing of MUSICA2.

The range of basic CR solutions being launched at ECR includes:
CR 30-X: a high-volume desktop digitizer, supporting a broad range of genrad applications including full leg/full spine (FLFS).
CR 30-x: a low-volume desktop digitizer supporting the same broad range of radiology exams.
CR 30-Xm: a high-volume desktop digitizer that can be used for both mammography and general radiology.

Each of these CR systems is supported by MUSICA2, Agfa HealthCare's gold-standard image processing software, and offers the same image quality as Agfa HealthCare's most advanced CR systems. The CR 30-X and CR 30-x always offer image quality with100 micrometer resolution, while the CR 30-Xm, for mammography, offers images with very fine 50 micrometer pixel definition.

CR versatility with uncompromising image quality
Hans Vandewyngaerde, Vice President Region Europe, Agfa HealthCare, explains: "We are committed to offering the benefits of CR to all types of hospitals and healthcare facilities, whether large or small, with a high volume or low volume of imaging. With our new family of basic CR solutions we have focused on developing solutions that offer the same high image quality, but in a set of basic, compact and cost-effective systems suitable for any imaging environment."
