The company's first digital radiology system, the Samsung XGEO GC80, now is available in the United States. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last fall, the XGEO features advanced imaging technology and user-friendly workflows to meet the demands of 21st-century radiology departments.
Developed as part of Samsung’s commitment to delivering healthcare technology that is accurate, easy and fast, the XGEO GC80 provides a spectrum of diagnostic and patient-centric tools aligned to meet the various demands and needs of both healthcare provider and patient.
“The Samsung XGEO GC80 will provide an alternative in the digital radiology market, leveraging Samsung’s expertise in advanced imaging technology and ergonomic design,” said Doug Ryan, group vice president for Health and Medical Equipment at Samsung’s Enterprise Business Division. “The Samsung XGEO GC80 provides exceptional image quality and departmental workflows through automation that is essential for both provider and patient care.”
Utilizing a Samsung TFT-based flat panel detector, the XGEO GC80 system incorporates proprietary adaptive local contrast stretching software with automatic, customizable post-image processing for optimizing contrast and edge sharpness. This enables the system to deliver high image quality, fast results and provide diagnostic confidence across diverse applications.
The ergonomic design features complement the Samsung XGEO GC80’s advanced image quality. Integrating Samsung’s robotics technology, the soft handling function allows users to reposition the tube head unit with an easy movement for improved workflow and reduced fatigue. With dedicated “auto” features, including positioning, tracking and parking, the XGEO GC80 combines modern efficiency with user convenience and patient safety. Audio/visual indicators highlight each procedural step, helping to simplify and enhance patient/provider interactions.
