Digital Tomosynthesis

Bridging the gap between 2D GenRad and CT

Turning hidden depths into meaningful answers

As part of the Agfa DR solution, digital tomosynthesis combines multi-slice reconstruction with a fast and efficient general radiology workflow. Empowered by MUSICA™, and requiring only an additional software license, the digital tomosynthesis solution offers very fast, multi-slice image reconstruction higher than CT in plane resolution.

Our brand-new, patented tomosynthesis algorithms solve the problem of traditionally slow multi-slice reconstruction.  A single sweep provides multiple tomographic slices that are quickly reconstructed into images with less noise and fewer artefacts.

Why choose for Digital Tomosynthesis from Agfa?

Quality time

Powered by MUSICA™, digital tomosynthesis automatically delivers 3D reconstructions with optimal contrast and consistent quality across slices and images.

Imaging in the fast lane

Smooth operator

As part of an Agfa DR solution, digital tomosynthesis combines multi-slice reconstruction with a fast and efficient general radiography workflow.

Nothing to hide

Separating anatomical layers, it visualizes findings that might otherwise be ‘hidden’ by dense tissue.

Equivalent dose to GenRad Exam

It uses equivalent radiation dose to a general radiography exam, and offers a genrad-sized field of view and genrad in-plane resolution – all within a workflow that is faster than computed tomography (CT).

Adding value through an improved clinical pathway.

It is worthwhile reconsidering the role and added value of digital tomosynthesis in general X-ray imaging. This is particularly relevant given the increasing importance of productivity gains – especially in mid-sized, productivity-oriented hospitals with limited access to and capacity for subsequent imaging exams (CT or MRI).

“Having the digital tomosynthesis with our DR 800 offers us an additional imaging choice that speeds up diagnosis. It reveals things that might not be visible with classical X-ray. Yet it can be done without moving the patient from the X-ray department.

“The main advantage of performing an additional Digital Tomosynthesis examination is that you can complete the examination without repositioning the patient. We are able to gain more detailed information with reasonably low dose.”
