Wayne, NJ, November 27, 2011 – Konica Minolta continues to innovate the world of wireless Radiography with their newest release of the Aero DR wireless 17 x 17 inch Flat Panel Detector (FPD). This larger sized FPD improves clinical workflow and patient care by offering users more versatility in positioning patients, allowing for more clinical data on every exposure which may decrease the number of exposures needed for studies that require imaging a larger region of interest.
Aero DR detectors incorporate Konica Minolta’s Cesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator that boasts ultra-high detector quantum efficiency (DQE). These detectors also take advantage of Konica Minolta’s very low power IC design which decrease read out noise and further raise quantum efficiency. All Aero DR systems deliver high image quality, reliability and easy workflow integration into general radiography environments.
“With the Aero DR, our customers are able to reduce patient dose while improving clinical workflow.” says Darren Werner, Digital Products Marketing Manager. “This is the result of Konica Minolta’s dedication to delivering product advancements that contribute to improved patient care.”
Aero DR systems meet International Standards for 14 x 17 and also 17 x 17 inch cassette sizes and therefore fit existing wall stands and bucky trays without modifications to help a facility maximize its investment in existing equipment and deliver a universal fit solution. Aero DR systems are offered in many configurations to meet both retrofit and new room purchase scenarios. The 17 x 17 inch FPD is pending FDA 510K clearance.
