CHICAGO, Dec. 3, 2014 – Healthcare providers need X-ray systems that can deliver efficiency, accuracy and patient comfort. Toshiba understands its customers’ business and is improving the workflow and operational efficiency of its T.RADTM R&F and KalareTM X-ray systems.

X-ray exams can be cumbersome for clinicians due to the constant changing of detectors. By making detectors more versatile, exams can be completed faster. The T.RAD and Kalare now benefit from these capabilities:

  • Detector Sharing: Detectors can be shared between the systems, allowing multiple systems to use the same detectors for more efficient use of resources.
  • Four Wireless Detectors Linked to a Single System: The systems can now accommodate up to four wireless flat panel detectors to be registered at one time. This increases flexibility and reduces exam times, decreasing the need to change detectors after each exam.

“There is nothing more valuable than time, and we are ensuring that our X-ray customers can conduct exams more quickly and accurately,” said David Sloop, director, X-ray Vascular Business Unit, Toshiba. “We are actively listening to our customers and adapting our products to meet their patient and business needs.”

The T.RAD R&F and Kalare X-ray systems and these enhancements will be showcased at this year’s Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago, Nov. 30 – Dec. 5, 2014 (Booth #7333, North Hall).
