During this week’s Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting in Chicago, Ill., Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. will be showcasing its new, reportedly more flexible Kalare R&F digital X-ray system. The system features a 17 inch square flat panel detector designed to improve visual quality of images.
According to the company, replacing the current image intensifier with a flat panel detector extends coverage for imaging larger patients, and helps reduce panning time for exams requiring fluoroscopy, such as a barium swallow.
“The Kalare R&F is designed with a ‘one system’ approach that can handle a diverse patient load while helping clinicians perform more exams with ease, comfort and speed,” said David Sloop, director of the X-ray vascular business unit at Toshiba. “With the new flat panel detector, clinicians can obtain more information from the images, resulting in quicker, more accurate patient diagnoses.”
Headquartered in Tustin, Calif., Toshiba America Medical Systems provides radiology and cardiovascular systems, including CT (computed tomography), MR (Magnetic resonance), ultrasound, X-ray and cardiovascular equipment, and coordinates clinical diagnostic imaging research for all modalities in the United States.
