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.
