Carestream Health plans to introduce a new computed radiography (CR) system at the upcoming RSNA 2014 meeting.
Vita Flex CR has a flexible design that allows it to operate vertically as well as horizontally, so that it can process CR cassettes sitting on the floor, a tabletop or desktop, or even from the back of a mobile imaging van, Carestream said. The device can process various cassette sizes, including 8 x 10 inch (0.2 x 0.25 m), 10 x 12 inch (0.25 x 0.3 m), 14 x 14 inch (0.35 x 0.35 m), 14 x 17 inch (0.35 x 0.43 m), and 24 x 30 cm, and it is available with the choice of two throughput rates, 30 plates per hour, or 45 plates per hour.
The company plans to make the device available on 8 December.
