Digital Radiography

DR System
The REGIUS 370 DR is an upright digital radiography system capable of supporting a wide range of clinical applications. The heart of the REGIUS 370 DR is Konica Minoltas patented new Plate technology. This new Plate is an advanced Cesium Bromide (CsBr) phosphor detector with a columnar structure that rivals the detective quantum efficiency (DQE) found in solid state DR systems. Combining our Plate with new anti-backscatter techniques, customizable image processing algorithms and on site integration with your existing X-ray suite, the REGIUS 370 DR system allows you to go digital while protecting your current investment in existing radiographic equipment.

Features and Benefits

No detail is overlooked in the elegant yet practical design of the REGIUS 370 DR system. For example: The ability to integrate this system with virtually any existing X-ray suite extends your investment in existing equipment and reduces the cost of entry into digital radiography. The maximum exposure size of 17" x 17" assures the comfortable accommodation of virtually any size patient. The capability to run 210 exposures per hour with image previews in as little as 10 seconds assures that departmental efficiency is optimized. The REGIUS 370 DR system utilizes the same Control Station as the Xpress system, for consistently high image quality and simple operation.
An Example of Konica Minolta Integration

Innovative Technology

The REGIUS 370 DR is the first upright digital radiography system in the world to utilize the most advanced Cesium Bromide (CsBr) phosphor detector in the industry.

REGIUS Control Station

The Control Station is highly regarded for its intuitiveness and simplicity. The Control Station provides the user flexibility in system configuration needed to create the ideal workflow. The unit is also equipped with a User Tool that gives complete freedom to customize image settings.

X-Ray Absorption

Utilizing the high absorption Cesium Bromide as a phosphor-based detector makes it possible for the customer to either use less dosage compared to the traditional photostimulatable phosphor plate for the same great image quality, or use the same dosage in favor of higher image sharpness.
Anti-Backscatter Technique
Also contributing to the REGIUS 370 DRs superior image quality is the inclusion of a unique anti-backscatter technique utilizing a flexible scrolling lead sheet. The use of this sheet ensures that any extraneous X-ray energy coming through the detector is absorbed and not scattered back to the detector. The flexible design of the sheet allows it to be automatically scrolled out of the way when not in use. The scrolling lead sheet makes possible the compact and efficient design of the overall system.

Structure

The Cesium Bromide is arranged in a columnar crystal structure. This structure provides light pipe like paths for the energy thus reducing light scatter and resulting in sharper images and offering detective quantum efficiency (DQE), comparable to flat panel DR systems.
Minimum Pixel Size of 87.5m
REGIUS 370 offers two types of sampling pitches, 87.5m and 175m. Selecting the sampling pitch suitable to the body part or diagnostic purposes allows producing the images with the optimal resolution.

Free Text Annotation

This function allows the user to create free text annotations and to place them anywhere on the image. The annotations are saved as part of the image for printing or DICOM storage.
