The ergonomically designed system uses auto-positioning, auto-tracking, and auto-stitching to facilitate more efficient workflow. By including auto-stitching, the system can truncate patient hold time and accelerate daily workflow. Up to four images, which are obtained by pressing the X-ray button, can be stitched together to create a long leg and full spine examination.
In addition, the detector can automatically move into correctly defined position when the patient is placed on the stitching trolley.

ECR Study Finds Mixed Results with AI on Breast Ultrasound
March 6th 2024While adjunctive use of AI led to significantly higher specificity and accuracy rates in detecting cancer on breast ultrasound exams in comparison to unassisted reading by breast radiologists, researchers noted that 12 of 13 BI-RADS 3 lesions upgraded by AI were ultimately benign, according to research presented at the European Congress of Radiology.
Can Autonomous AI Help Reduce Prostate MRI Workloads Without Affecting Quality?
March 1st 2024Based on findings from a multicenter study of over 1,600 patients, researchers at the European Congress of Radiology suggest the inclusion of autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) triage could facilitate up to a 75 percent reduction in prostate MRI reading workload.
