Transitioning to digital radiography can enhance image quality and workflow efficiency but often comes with high costs. Agfa offers a smart solution with its DR Retrofit, allowing healthcare facilities in India to upgrade their systems without a complete overhaul.
By utilising advanced Duraline panels and high-performance DR Detectors, Agfa enables organisations to improve diagnostic capabilities while maintaining their existing investments. This approach modernises imaging processes and supports cost-effective upgrades, making it an ideal choice for healthcare providers seeking to advance their technology.
DR Retrofit – Upgrade Without Infrastructure Overhaul
Agfa’s DR Retrofit is engineered to convert analogue or computed radiography (CR) systems into fully digital setups while preserving existing X-ray tables, stands, and generators. This strategy helps healthcare centers achieve digital workflows cost-effectively, with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Key benefits include:
- Robust reliability: Duraline detectors in the Retrofit system are IP67 waterproof rated, drop-resistant up to one meter, and operational across 0–40 °C, ideal for diverse applications such as pediatric, veterinary, or military imaging.
- Extended battery life: With two batteries, users get up to 15 hours of operation per shift, keeping imaging workflows uninterrupted.
- Exceptional image quality with dose reduction: Paired with Agfa’s MUSICA image processing, Retrofit facilitates dose reductions of 50–60% thanks to the efficiency of cesium-based detectors.
- Flexible and scalable: A single DR Retrofit module can serve multiple X-ray systems from mobile units to fixed room setups maximising utilisation and investment.
Duraline Panels – Durable and High-Quality Detectors
Agfa’s Duraline panels are thoughtfully designed for demanding clinical environments. Built for durability and ready for daily use, they offer:
- High image quality with dose efficiency: Powered by advanced cesium iodide (CsI) technology, Duraline panels achieve superior diagnostic detail while reducing radiation dose.
- Durable and lightweight: The XF+ series is glass-free with 1.5 m drop resistance, while XD+ and XD versions offer balanced affordability all featuring IP67 protection.
- Versatile sharing capabilities: With NFC or button access, these panels can be quickly reassigned across multiple imaging systems, reducing downtime and improving workflow.
DR Detectors – Core Imaging Flexibility
At the heart of digital imaging are Agfa’s DR Detectors, which deliver excellence in performance and adaptability:
- Versatile form factors: Available in a range of sizes, including Duraline and S-line panels they fit standard Bucky trays for both general and mammography applications.
- Cassette-less workflow: These lightweight, wireless detectors offer fast imaging cycles, immediate image verification, and seamless transfer to PACS, streamlining operational efficiency.
- Consistent quality via MUSICA: Across all detectors, Agfa’s MUSICA image processing ensures first-time-right results, improved image clarity, and potentially reduced retakes and dose exposure.
