2-2 General Information
What Is the EPEX/Omniflex IV System?
The EPEX/Omniflex IV System is a direct-to-digital, fully integrated,
imaging system for general purpose outpatient radiology. The
EPEX/Omniflex IV System utilizes a single digital detector to perform
most general radiography procedures.
The DirectRay technology directly captures and converts X-ray energy into
a digital image. The system acquires and transmits image data for
hardcopy, soft display, or storage via Ethernet using DICOM protocols.
Typical radiographic assessment protocols for general radiography include
views of the spine, chest, abdomen, skull, and orthopedic skeletal/
extremity examinations. The versatility of the radiographic system
operation provides for the following quickly and efficiently:
• Accessing and/or entering of patient demographics.
• Accurate, flexible, and unencumbered alignment of the diagnostic
source to both the anatomy of interest and the image receptor for any
required radiographic projection of both immobilized and ambulatory
patients, either upright or recumbent, for any patient size or weight
from small infants to obese adults.
• Rapid, error-proof procedure configuration, image acquisition, and
quality control softcopy review. The Generator and X-ray tube output
requirements accommodate any patient size or weight from small
infants to obese adults.
• High-quality softcopy and/or hardcopy network transmission image
review and archive of accepted examinations.
