This opinion paper discusses six key transformation areas Agfa’s Radiology Advisory Board has determined to be crucial to the future of X-ray.
This Whitepaper provides deeper insights into Dynamic Imaging, which has been successfully introduced along with a number of other features and improvements for optimal fluoroscopy and Rapid Sequence imaging.
Image quality from mobile radiography presents specific challenges. This study covers the evaluation and re-confirmation of the image quality produced by Agfa Radiology Solutions’ DR 100s mobile system.
This white paper investigates the value of Fractional Multiscale image Processing (FMP) for creating a dedicated PICC image.
This white paper demonstrates MUSICA’s advanced Fractional Multiscale Processing (FMP) technology for these (difficult) bedside chest exposures, and shows how Agfa uses state‑of-the-art technology to improve the delivery of quality daily care for critically ill patients, as stated by a participating radiologist.
To determine the effect of Cesium phosphors on image quality and dose, a technical assessment and an image quality evaluation with radiologists was conducted. The goal of this evaluation was to determine how much patient exposure (and dose) could be reduced while providing the same or similar image quality when comparing conventional BaFBr plate CR system to CsBr needle plate CR system and CsI needle scintillator DR detector when processed with Agfa’s MUSICA image processing.
This white paper describes a study on a larger clinical scale in order to obtain reliable clinical data and to re-confirm and quantify real-world image quality. The study involved five individual hospitals in Germany, six independent readers (radiologists), and data collected over more than two years. All relevant body parts and exam types, both for adult and pediatric X-ray imaging, were included. The study covered the complete range of standard DR systems: from full-sized, ceiling mounted systems; to floor mounted systems; to DR retrofit setups. In addition, it provided for the first time detailed information on clinical dose levels applied with digital X-ray detectors.
This white paper demonstrates – by means of well-documented and practical clinical cases – the potential of digital tomosynthesis in the radiological field. It shows that DTS can be a useful complement to 2D and CT imaging in improving department productivity and patient care.
Data protection is the focus of our attention as there is always a great concern surrounding security breaches resulting from missing or ignored procedures and practices. In this white paper we want to highlight the best practices Agfa put in place and we will answer questions regarding the data transfer, handling and security.
Agfa carried out another large-scale study to objectify and re-confirm image quality for dynamic or semi-dynamic procedures (fluoroscopy, DSA and Roadmapping, digital tomosynthesis, etc.). The study involved several hospitals in Germany, Spain and Italy, as well as six independent radiologists reading the sequences. This white paper highlights and illustrates the methods and most relevant outcomes of this study.
The objective of this white paper commissioned by Agfa Radiology Solutions™ and led by Frost & Sullivan is to present a comprehensive assessment of the current SmartXR® portfolio, focusing on the SmartRotate™ feature offered by Agfa across its Digital Radiography portfolio and highlight the benefits to radiographer workflows.
Frost & Sullivan interviewed six radiology department heads from the United States, United Kingdom (U.K.) and Germany who discussed the challenges each of their facilities faced and the decision process that resulted in their adopting the DR 800.
With the CMDB Enrichment Agent (CEA), Agfa Radiology Solutions is putting its proven technical expertise to work to enable more efficient, seamless and secure transfer of machine data from your hospital’s MUSICA™ Workstations (‘NX Workstations’) to Agfa’s service team.
Agfa’s Secure Remote Service System (SRSS) is a centralized connection infrastructure that helps to reduce a hospital’s administrative overheads by keeping its Agfa systems running at top performance. SRSS integrates technology based on industry-accepted best practices (such as demilitarized network design) for maximum security.
Fast Update SErvice (FUSE)™ furthers the commitment of Agfa Radiology Solutions to offering enhanced remote services. Delivering automatic software updates for your MUSICA® Workstations, it ensures that you always have access to the latest Microsoft Windows® security patches and updates to specific Agfa software components.
