Compact Computed Radiography Imaging System Offers Speed, Versatility And
Industry-Leading Image Quality for Wide Range of Desktop or Mobile
Applications
CHICAGO, Nov. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- McCORMICK PLACE, NORTH BUILDING, HALL B,
LEVEL 3, BOOTH #6427 -- Alara Inc., a leading manufacturer of Computed
Radiography (CR) medical imaging products, today announced it is showcasing
its new CRystalView R200 desktop CR system at RSNA 2005 in Chicago. Designed
as a compact system small enough for desktop or mobile use, the CRystalView
R200 system combines outstanding image quality with a 50+ plate-per-hour
output, making the solution ideal for a variety of clinical settings including
small office practices, clinics, hospitals, ERs and other demanding imaging
environments.
Building on its industry-leading expertise in CR products, Alara has
created a flexible, reliable and value-priced CR alternative in the
CRystalView R200 system. "Imaging professionals get the best of both worlds
with this product," said Jim Walker, president and CEO of Alara, Inc. "The
CRystalView R200 system offers the same exceptional performance found in
premium CR systems, plus a compact size suitable for desktops or mobile
applications. Whether used in private physician practices or large hospitals,
the CRystalView R200 system offers excellent throughput and superb image
quality at a competitive price."
The CRystalView R200 system, including a CR reader, imaging plates,
cassettes, QC workstation and related software, gives users the performance
and leading-edge technology critical to remain competitive in healthcare
practices today. Fast acquisition of images with twelve-pixels/mm pixel pitch
(high resolution mode), and 16-bit grayscale resolution, assures exceptional
quality for every image.
For demanding clinical environments like ERs and large radiology
departments, the CRystalView R200 system is the perfect choice with its high
throughput capability of 50+ plates per hour for 14X17 images and only 60
seconds to image display. The CRystalView R200 system is also ideal as an
adjunct for Digital Radiography (DR) where clinics and hospitals cannot afford
to shut down their busy Radiology practices.
The CRystalView R200 system features a long list of user features
including exam-based imaging protocols, calibrated exposure indicator
tracking, integrated eraser and a rich set of image review and processing
tools. Due to its comprehensive DICOM compatibility, the system can easily
integrate X-ray studies with PACS, teleradiology, image distribution and
archives via local or wide area network.
Deploying the CRystalView R200 system is simple, thanks to its
plug-and-play connectivity. Up to 4 QC workstations can be connected per
reader, making it suitable for small to moderately-sized clinics, imaging
centers and radiology departments. Installation and training typically
requires less than a single day.
Alaras CRystalView R200 desktop CR system is not yet available for sale
in the U.S. and is expected to begin shipping by late 1st Quarter 2006. During
RSNA 2005, the CRystalView R200 system will be demonstrated at the Alara
exhibit in Hall B-North Building, Level 3, Booth #6427 of McCormick Place. For
