1. CR Systems Offer More
Flexibility For Your Medical
Facility

2. Computed radiography systems, or CR systems, are
designed to capture, convert, store and deliver digital
medical images. The problem many medical centers
face is that they have perfectly good imaging
equipment, and the cost of a complete overhaul to
digital imaging is cost prohibitive. Instead, you can
use your current imaging hardware in conjunction
with CR software, and obtain the digital images you
want at a reasonable price.

3. A CR system allows you to take a medical image using
a medical plate. The data collected on the plate is
then converted to a digital image through the use of a
scanner. CR software can then be used to optimize
the images to your specifications.
For smaller medical clinics, size of equipment is always
a consideration. CR systems are available in a range
of sizes, including compact, so that any medical
facility can find the CR system to meet their specific
needs.

4. CR systems are available for specialty practices as well as
for general purposes. Orthopedists, podiatrists and
chiropractors will find a CR system suitable for their
unique purposes. Many CR systems are designed for
use in the patient's room, making it especially functional
for use in the emergency room or intensive care unit.

5. Speed and image resolution are major factors when it
comes to deciding which CR system you will use in your
medical facility. There is CR software available that
allows you to process anywhere from sixty to seventy-six
imaging plates per hour, improving your office's
productivity. Multi-frequency processing and flexible
noise control are also available on certain CR system
units. With quality CR software you can also expect
image resolution of ten pixels/mm regardless of image
plate size.

6. Some medical facilities, such as veterinary or military,
have a need for portable systems. There are
systems available that can be used in any location
and still maintain optimal handling.
There are many ways that one of these systems can
save money for your medical office. One of those
ways is in the type of electrical connection needed
for the device to operate. Certain systems will run
on a standard electrical outlet, saving you the
expense of rewiring and outfitting exam rooms and
making it easier to get up and running with your own
computed radiography system.
