Description
Versatile
Rapid and concurrent movements dramatically reduce patient preparation time and increase workflow. Even though the Apollo EZ/DRF was built to be compact, it can extend the focus-detector distance up to 71 in (180 cm) allowing to obtain chest images comparable to those done on a chest stand. In turn, this makes the remote-controlled room also suitable for routine exams.
Dynamic Flat Panel Technology
The innovative Dynamic Flat Panel detector delivers sharp and accurate images to support your diagnosis and is not affected by geometric distortion which is typical of Image Intensifiers. The large 17 x 17 in (43 x 43 cm) active area is suitable for examination of any anatomic region and provides almost 50% more coverage than a 16″ Image Intensifier. The combination of wide coverage and high image resolution extends the application of the fluoro suite to areas such as the chest, pelvis, and extremities, that of which can’t be done with conventional image intensifier-based systems. The high sensitivity of the flat panel technology, the use of low absorption materials, and the grid parking capability allow a consistent dose reduction, especially for pediatric applications.
Great Versatility for Radiographic Applications
The use of one single detector for both fluoroscopy and radiography offers an unparalleled range of applications that includes all the most common general radiographic procedures, gastro-intestinal studies, tomography, and vascular studies. Exams can be taken on the table with a source to image distance up to 71 in (180 cm) The large, square detector offers enough field coverage for exams that include the pelvis, which is normally not possible using a traditional image intensifier. The detector travel reaches the tabletop extremities making it possible to perform weight-bearing studies with the patient at a minimal height from the floor. The optional Stitching function allows covering the examinations of long body structures such as the spine and the lower limbs. A series of X-ray exposures are automatically acquired and joined together by the acquisition software to obtain a single detailed image of big anatomic areas.
Wide Range of Fluoroscopy Examinations
Fluoroscopy exams also take benefit from the large active area of the detector that allows visibility of larger anatomic regions without patient repositioning. The high frame rate makes for precise investigation of the upper gastrointestinal tract and swallow studies. Digital Subtraction Angiography is available as an optional package and benefits from the large patient coverage without longitudinal repositioning.
