In response to hospitals' need for a digital X-ray environment that is flexible, efficient, and cost-effective, Konica Minolta is showcasing the REGIUS Digital Imaging Suite at the 94th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The REGIUS Digital Imaging Suite offers a complete digital radiography solution by combining a cassette-less upright receptor combined with a cassette-based system that is cost-effective, easy-to-use and reliable.

"A conservative spending atmosphere in health care combined with lower reimbursement rates are leading many facilities to seek digital solutions that offer high value through optimizing workflow efficiency and capital expense," says Darren Werner, Marketing Manager for Digital Products at Konica Minolta. "The REGIUS Digital Imaging Suite offers highly effective workflow at an affordable price to the end user. This solution will allow more facilities to go digital earlier than they could have using traditional DR offerings in the market."

At the heart of the RDIS is the REGIUS 370 DR, an upright digital radiography system that supports a wide range of clinical applications. In addition to the REGIUS 370, the REGIUS Digital Imaging Suite also includes the Nano CR single plate system, an x-ray generator, elevating float-top table and a Single Imaging Control Station for both the REGIUS 370 and Nano CR that simplifies user operation and learning curve.

The use of a single Control Station on the RDIS system optimizes image quality for all applications and reduces the number of steps to improve productivity. Unique to the REGIUS 370 is it's highly advanced Cesium Bromide (CsBr) structured phosphor receptor which produces a high level of detective quantum efficiency (DQE); a new antiscatter technology, which aids in image quality; and Konica Minolta's renowned image processing algorithms.

Combining a high volume cassette-less upright with the award winning Nano cassette based CR system allows Konica Minolta to uniquely offer this Digital Radiography solution providing the best of all digital technologies into one optimized solution.
