12-X table-top computed radiography digitizer
Agfa HealthCare recently launched the CR 12-X, a table-top computed radiography digitizer. The system has a single slot for 14x17 inch (35 x 43 cm) cassettes. With the CR 12-X, the user can choose to adjust speed and resolution depending on the needs of the exam. Technologists can overwrite the default settings for each exam, depending on the specific speed/quality priorities. Agfa HealthCare’s MUSICA software is included in the implementation of CR 12-X, which automatically handles all image processing, independently of body part and dose. The CR 12-X is fully DICOM-compliant to easily integrate with other solution elements.

- Flush-mounted side rails for unencumbered patient access.
- Stirrups designed to cup at the heel for added comfort.
