Two New DR Systems Designed to Simplify Exam Process for Technologists and Increase Throughput for Greater Department Efficiency
RALEIGH, NC--(Marketwired - Dec 1, 2014) - (RSNA Booth #7322) -- Viztek, the leading provider of complete digital software and hardware diagnostic imaging solutions, today announced the introduction of its new U-Arm DR and Overhead Tube Crane (OTC) systems. Unveiled for the first time at the Radiological Society of North America's (RSNA's) 100th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, the two new additions further expand the company's growing DR product line. With a focus on helping radiology departments work smarter, both systems were designed to maximize ease-of-use and versatility.
U-Arm
Designed with the technologist in mind, the new Viztek U-Arm enables exams to be completed quickly and with the most accuracy. Advanced features enable the overall exam time to be shortened, while simultaneously helping assure that the time with the patient is more focused and productive. Specific features include the following:
"Through robust DR imaging and additionally versatile capabilities, we've designed the U-Arm to help facilities expedite patient x-rays, improve workflow and arrive at greater throughput," said Bruce Ashby, general manager, Viztek. "Beyond increasing efficiency, the system is also cost-effective and can support low dose imaging capabilities -- truly making it the ideal DR solution for future-minded facilities."
Overhead Tube Crane (OTC)
The new OTC combines the benefits of Viztek's existing chest and table systems into one unit for those facilities that are seeking a complete room replacement. Also beneficial to the technologists, the system's features provide significant versatility and ease-of-use to enable faster processes. Key features include:
Both the U-Arm DR and the Viztek OTC system can be paired with Viztek's pediatric imaging software package to support low dose imaging initiatives. As medical imaging continues to grow dose conscious, it is critical that healthcare organizations leverage solutions ensuring that pediatric patients receive the safest possible care.
"Innovation means different things in different industries, but in healthcare, and radiology in particular, it needs to have legs to truly make a difference. That's why Viztek is dedicated to pioneering ease-of-use and better workflow with our DR solutions -- because improved care delivery comes from improving usability," added Ashby. "The new U-Arm and OTC, much like the rest of our offerings, are devoted to the same goal -- simplifying radiology."
