Agfa Radiology Solutions is pleased to announce that the GPR Klinikum Rüsselsheim in Rüsselsheim am Main, Germany, has chosen to install a second DR 600 high-performance digital X-ray room. The room will be equipped with Agfa’s brand-new glass-free Dura–line™ XF⁺ detectors, the SmartXR^® intelligent workflow suite and support for full leg/full spine (FLFS) imaging.

GPR Klinikum Rüsselsheim is a 577-bed hospital providing medical care to approximately 200,000 people in Rüsselsheim and surrounding regions.   Thanks to its central location near the metropolitan areas of Frankfurt, Mainz, Wiesbaden and Darmstadt, the hospital can draw on high-quality medical partnerships to ensure the best possible care for its patients.

Delivering the right image the first time

“Our first DR 600 ticked all the boxes for functionality and usability, so when we needed a new X-ray room, the DR 600 was the clear choice. The second DR 600, which will soon be installed at our hospital, offers even more advanced software options and features that will benefit us, such as dedicated full leg/full spine imaging tools and glass-free detectors. Furthermore, our radiographers are especially looking forward to the promising SmartXR^® tools, which will support them in their day-to-day activities and help boost efficiency and accuracy while reducing retakes,” says Dr. med. Thilo Gerhards of GPR Klinikum Rüsselsheim.

“We are delighted that GPR Klinikum Rüsselsheim has chosen to install its second DR 600, with tools such as our intelligent SmartXR^® portfolio, which support the radiographer workflow, and Dura-line™ XF⁺ detectors, which offer exquisite imaging quality and durability. By listening closely to the input of radiologists and radiographers, we strive to deliver unparalleled workflow improvements while simultaneously meeting the ever-increasing requirements for image quality and dose reduction,” says Frank Barzen,  DR Business Manager EMEA, Agfa Radiology Solutions.

DR 600: ultimate speed, precision and comfort

The high-productivity, fully automated, ceiling-suspended DR 600 room streamlines workflow and increases throughput, even in the busiest imaging environment.

Proven technologies that enhance the experience of patients and operators include ZeroForce™ manoeuvrability; SmartGrip™, which uses capacitive touch sensors on the tube head grip to move the tube to a desired position; and support for FLFS imaging including EasyStitch technology.

Like all Agfa DR systems, the DR 600 is powered by MUSICA^®, with a single, intuitive user interface for smooth, efficient DR imaging. Agfa’s latest generation, gold-standard MUSICA®3 image processing software provides ‘first time right’ imaging, reducing retakes and supporting ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principles for radiation dose.

SmartXR^®: an intelligent workflow assistant for the radiographer

The DR 600 room at GPR Klinikum Rüsselsheim will be equipped with SmartXR^® tools for dose, alignment, patient positioning and more, enabling first-time-right image acquisition. SmartXR^® helps radiographers speed up their workflow while reducing retakes, and ensures radiologists get consistent images with the clinical information they need.

Dura-line™ XF⁺ detectors: setting a new standard in image quality, durability, and portability

GPR Klinikum Rüsselsheim has chosen to equip the new DR 600 with Agfa’s new range of Dura-line™ glass-free XF⁺ detectors. These detectors combine low weight and superior durability with ultra-high resolution of 99-micron pixel pitch for exceptional image detail. Their robust drop resistance and protection against water and dust make them ideal to withstand demanding imaging environments.
