Carestream debuts new software platform for mobile X-ray system

Carestream of Rochester, NY, has introduced new software for its DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System. The ImageView Software Platform is designed to offer advanced features and optimized workflow and uses a Microsoft® Windows 10 operating system to deliver enhanced security.

ImageView software is designed to boost technologist productivity with an intuitive interface and consolidated screen views. It supports image processing and workflow capabilities that include:

• Enhanced Visualization Processing Plus software that delivers multi-band frequency processing to provide better noise control, sharpness, contrast, and density while minimizing artifacts.
• Tube and Line Visualization that uses a companion image created from the original exposure with optimized processing for clearer, easier visualization of PICC lines and tubes to help increase confidence that tubes and lines are placed correctly.
• Pneumothorax Visualization that uses a companion image created from the original exposure to accentuate the appearance of free air in the chest cavity.
• Bone Suppression software that uses a companion image created from the original exposure to reduce the appearance of bone and enable better visualization of soft tissue.
• Pediatric Image Optimization and Enhancement software that acquires default acquisition techniques and image processing parameters optimized specifically for each patient's body size.
• SmartGrid software that provides image quality comparable to images acquired with an anti-scatter grid and offers reduced patient dose for bedside chest imaging.

An administrative and analysis reporting option can help improve performance with a digital dashboard, allowing users to track average exposure rates by technologists, rejected images, and other statistics including detector drops. Carestream’s Total Quality Tool package provides objective quality control image tests and collection of detector performance data.
