'One image is all it takes': at RSNA 2023, Agfa shares how its intelligent technology delivers the right image, the first timeTechnologies such as MUSICA®, SmartXR® and ScanXR® provide accurate and high-quality diagnostic information from the first X-ray taken, to reduce retakes and speed up workflows MORTSEL, Belgium, Sept. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Each week more than 3 million radiographic exams are carried out with Agfa equipment around the world. At RSNA 2023, Agfa will share how it uses its intelligent solutions to make every image count. MUSICA® gold standard image processing, AI-driven technologies including SmartXR®, ScanXR® and DensityScan™, as well as the newest versions of the groundbreaking DR 100s mobile X-ray solution and the high-performing DR 600 X-ray room, all play a role in helping deliver accurate and high-quality diagnostic information, from the first X-ray taken. "Everyone wants to provide good image quality, but we go a step further. We make it easier for radiographers to get the 'right' image the first time. By reducing retakes, the radiographer's own workflow is smoother and more efficient, while the patient receives less radiation – which is an important outcome for everyone. And the radiologist gets high-quality images that deliver the diagnostic information needed, more quickly. One image is all it takes," says Jeroen Spruyt, Head of DR at Agfa Radiology Solutions. Discover Agfa's intelligent technologies for image processing and workflow assistance: MUSICA®, which comes standard with all Agfa direct radiography (DR) and computed radiography (CR) systems, automatically analyzes the characteristics of raw images and optimizes the processing parameters, independent of body part or dse deviation. Its high image quality and low-dose features have made MUSICA the 'gold standard' in image processing for radiology departments around the world. The SmartXR® portfolio adds X-ray intelligence to Agfa's DR solutions, to provide image acquisition support and lighten the radiographers' workload. Predictive workflow assistance for dose, alignment, patient positioning, image rotation and more help improve operational performance in image acquisition. ScanXR® identifies suspicious critical pathologies, ensuring that images with key diagnostic information can be immediately marked as high priority at the point of care. *DensityScan™: automated osteoporosis screening, powered by IBEX BH Highlighted solutions from Agfa's DR portfolio:
