Carestream Health India Unveils Innovative Radiology Solutions

The new Elite CR system is designed for hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, multi-specialty clinics and private practices

Carestream Health India recently unveiled its newest digital imaging products and solutions which help healthcare providers improve quality and operational performance at the 61st Indian Radiology Congress. The company also announced state-of-the-art systems and services for the capture, processing, sharing, printing and storing of images for diagnostic and non-diagnostic applications. The three-day annual Radiology Congress, organised by the Indian Radiological and Imaging Association, was held in Bangalore.

Carestream Health's newest product—the single-cassette KODAK DIRECTVIEW Elite CR Systems that delivers exceptional versatility and value—is being demonstrated in India for the first time. With this introduction, Carestream Health has revamped its KODAK DIRECTVIEW CR platform to further enhance image quality, improve technologist efficiency and increase ease of use. The Elite CR system accepts standard DIRECTVIEW CR cassettes and performs a wide range of exams that eliminates the need for additional CR units. The system also can help improve productivity and workflow with automatic image rendering that eliminates the need for technologists to identify each exam projection. It enables users to create customised settings for image presentation (by exam type/body part), which reduces the need for radiologists to make frequent adjustments.

The new Elite CR system is designed for hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, multi-specialty clinics and private practices. It offers a throughput of up to 98 cassettes per hour, which includes loading, scanning, erasing and ejecting a 35 x 43 cm cassette.

Speaking about Carestream Health's medical imaging solutions showcased at the Radiology Conference, Dr Mohan Nadkarni, Director and Country Business Manager, Carestream Health India, said, "Our solutions are designed to make life easier for the radiology community. We have a broad set of products and services that enable the radiology facility to improve the quality and cost of patient care. Our digital technology and consulting services are unrivalled, and by offering integrated imaging solutions, we enable the healthcare facilities realise the benefits of an all-digital workflow."
