“ The image quality is exceptional!  MUSICA and the DR 600 are keeping the imaging workflow smooth and efficient, while meeting the quality and dose reduction needs for patients and staff.  The fact that we don’t need to adjust the images has a lot of advantages: image quality, workflow, efficiency… we save a lot of time.   And we are also getting a consistent appearance to our images, which is important for referrers and clinicians.”

“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.

Improving visualization of low contrast PICC tips in newborns

Study shows MUSICA™‘s Fractional Multiscale Processing technology improves catheter visualization for newborns, improving reading quality and reducing potential risks of catheter placement

Digital tomosynthesis for better patient care and higher hospital productivity

Several musculoskeletal cases have been presented with indications, imaging examples (2D and DTS), and added value propositions of DTS. The latter include a shorter diagnostic cycle and significant improvement in patient care. These cases indicate that, requiring only limited extra effort (prolongation of 2D exam time) and a significantly lower X-ray dose (as compared to CT), a clear clinical benefit is achieved.

Large-scale study on Agfa’s image quality

Study shows with high statistical confidence that only half of the dose prescribed by Germany’s NDRLs is required to reach close-to-maximum image quality and diagnostic confidence.
