Toshiba Demonstrates State-of-the-Art X-Ray System Offerings with DR at RSNA 2006
Popular T.Rad-PLUS Digital and Kalare Systems to be Displayed CHICAGO, Nov. 30, 2006 – Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. today announced it will demonstrate two of its state-of-the-art X-ray systems featuring digital radiography (DR) technology at this year’s Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago, Nov. 26-Dec. 1 in Toshiba booth #1129, located in South Building, Hall A. As part of the demonstration, Toshiba will display its innovative DR technologies, including the popular T.Rad-PLUS™ Digital and Kalare™ systems. Both systems utilize a removable DR panel and allow clinicians the flexibility to obtain images from virtually any position without moving the patient. The enhancements improve patient comfort and result in faster exams – supporting today’s imaging needs by handling ambulatory, wheel chair and stretcher patients. “With multiple prepackaged configurations and more standard features, our DR X-ray offerings provide clinicians with the tools necessary to obtain high-quality images, while improving exam efficiency and delivering excellent patient care,” said Robert Micer, director, X-ray Vascular Business Unit, Toshiba. “Both the T.Rad-PLUS Digital and Kalare are designed to cost-effectively meet clinicians' current and future needs by providing conventional and digital radiography products that ensure high value and state-of-the-art performance for years to come.”
The Kalare R&F system is designed to meet the needs of busy facilities and incorporates a portable DR panel, creating a 100 percent filmless system that works like two, and improves the utility of one room. Kalare expands general R&F and interventional radiology capabilities to help clinicians perform more exams with ease, comfort and speed. Its feature-rich, comprehensive configuration positively impacts productivity, resource allocation, asset utilization and clinical outcomes. Features include the latest EPS-Plus™ Digital Imaging System – an all-digital processing system designed to shorten exam times and reduce the costs of film, handling and storage associated with conventional R&F fluoroscopic procedures. The EPS-Plus in combination with the removable DR panel and its workstation increases access to fluoroscopic and radiographic images, and speeds critical information to the point-of-care.
