General description/indications for use
The Easy DR is a film-less X-ray system suitable for a wide range of
radiological exams. The design is based on the WHO recommend WIS-RAD
system and together with the Rogan ROX and VPX viewing station is very
suitable for (mass) screening on TBC.
X-ray photons arrive at the DR plate (sensor) and the scintillation cause a
reaction in which light is released. This light is absorbed and converted into a
current through a photoelectric converter, a SI-sensor.
Example of a DR sensor
A sensor contains lines and rows with pixels. These pixels are read out directly
after exposure. All the different currents from the pixels are converted into a
corresponding value so the computer can display an image. The captured X-
ray image is stored in digital memory. Digitized images are transferred as
DICOM 3.0 compatible files to a Picture Archive and Communication system
(PACS). The PACS system is used to distribute to diagnostic viewing station.
