Digital radiography pioneer Swissray is introducing the ddRCombi Trauma at the RSNA meeting. The system enables trauma and other emergency patients to be imaged from head to toe - both AP and laterally - easily and without being moved.
The ddRCombi features a fixed table with elevating base, four-way floating top, and automatic detector positioning for cross-table imaging. The table can be controlled with a single button push on a wireless handheld remote control. Fully processed images are available in about five seconds.
