Imager suited for centralized workflows of all kinds, thanks to 508 dpi, compact design, diverse media options and more convenient film handling
ECR (Expo B, # 212)/ Vienna, Austria - 09 March 2007
Agfa HealthCare introduces the DRYSTAR(TM) AXYS(TM) tabletop imager, a centralized hardcopy solution designed to fit a full range of applications including mammography, CT, MRI, and Computed Radiography (CR). The DRYSTAR AXYS offers an image resolution of 508 dpi, and with its very short access time, delivers the five first prints extremely quickly. This latest addition to Agfa HealthCare's renowned DRYSTAR family of imagers will be available for sale in Q4 2007.
Outstanding image quality
The only tabletop imager on the market able to print mammography images, the DRYSTAR AXYS meets demanding image quality requirements, such as mammography and rheumatology, with ease. The imager incorporates Agfa HealthCare's Direct Digital Imaging (DDI) technology, software that controls every pixel in an image for virtually flawless and consistent image quality. The award-winning DDI software includes A#Sharp(TM) technology, which intensifies imaging capability, for sharper image quality across all applications.

More options for film size and type and easier film loading
Because film used by the DRYSTAR AXYS is 100% non-light sensitive, film can be loaded or removed from the input trays without concern for ambient light. The two fully flexible input trays of the DRYSTAR AXYS accept a variety of film sizes and types, offering the choice of five film sizes and three film types (blue-clear-mammography), meeting the diverse film requirements of a busy centralized workflow.

The compact design of the DRYSTAR AXYS means that it can be installed in space-restricted environments or, using an optional mobile mounting kit, in mobile vans.
"Whether you're in a small facility with lower patient volumes, or a large, high-volume department, the DRYSTAR AXYS offers a cost-effective and reliable solution, combining image quality with convenience," said Jan Leeuws, Agfa HealthCare Business Unit Manager Film & Print.
