Samsung Electronics America Inc. has released to the U.S. market its new U-Arm-based digital radiology system.
The Samsung XGEO GU60A incorporates technologies found throughout the company's DR portfolio, from the flat panel detector (FPD) design and auto positioning functions to advanced image-processing software. It offers an alternative to current utility DR systems by combining core features with best-in-class usability enhancements such as LED indicator lights and individual blade control to minimize patient exposure.
“The Samsung XGEO GU60A offers a balance of performance, flexibility and space-saving,” said Doug Ryan, group vice president for Samsung’s Health and Medical Equipment (HME) unit within its Enterprise Business Division. “Samsung is excited to continue to expand its DR portfolio with this system.”
Utilizing a Samsung TFT-based FPD, the XGEO GU60A incorporates proprietary adaptive local contrast stretching (ALCOS) software with 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, executives claim.
Ergonomic design features complement the Samsung XGEO GU60’s advanced image quality. The system’s flexible U-Arm can be rotated from +120 degrees to -30 degrees or raised and lowered to suit the application, while the auto positioning function enables the user to program the most frequently used positions and automatically swivel into place. LED indicator lights highlight each procedural step, helping to simplify and enhance patient/provider interactions.
Samsung’s Enterprise Business Division is part of Samsung Electronics America Inc., which itself is a U.S. subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Company Ltd. The parent company employs 270,000 people across 79 countries and boasts annual sales of $187.8 billion.
