The KDR Flex Overhead X-ray is the first system that can convert from manual to auto and assist mode that includes an intuitive and customizable user interface. It’s an integrated system for all conventional radiographic applications – with the patient sitting, standing, laying down or in a wheelchair – and includes a high-frequency generator, radiographic table and wall bucky. KDR Flex was designed for efficiency. The system automatically tracks the tube and moves to the detector’s center on the table or wall stand to ensure the alignment, SID and angulation. The motorized axes provide more than 5 meters/16 feet of travel and 3,600 angles. An integrated, tube-mounted 12-inch high-resolution touchscreen user interface allows the technologist to control the system and preview the images to reduce exam time. The capacitive handle in the tube head has internal sensors that release movements when touched by the operator. The KDR Flex is also Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) ready. DDR is a novel, low-dose X-ray imaging technique that acquires images at high speed, generating a cineloop that enables clinicians to visualize anatomical motion over time (cineradiography), enhancing the system’s diagnostic capabilities.
