Konica Minolta Medical&Graphic

Creating a future of leading−edge digital image−processing technology

Atsushi Kodama (President)

The digital revolution has reached the healthcare field. Konica Minolta is serving this field with products that use the latest in digital imaging technology, and with services and solutions of the highest quality. We provide the hospital and clinic market with highly-acclaimed, high-performance X-ray digital diagnostic imaging systems that feature Computed Radiography.

Diagnostic imaging systems (DR and CR)

As the need for digitization and networking increases not only at large-scale hospitals, but also smaller clinics, we resolutely pursue usability by combining compact design with high-speed image capture and processing technologies. Our systems realize more efficient workflows and high operability.

Developing digital radiography systems that allow high-quality imagingat low x-ray volumes

PLAUDR C30 digital radiography

Advancements in medical care are requiring higher-quality x-ray imaging, prompting demand for high-speed processing of captured images.
In 2008, Konica Minolta developed digital radiography (DR) x-ray diagnostic systems as an alternative to CR. Using flat panel detectors (FPDs), such systems are able to deliver high-quality images with only a fraction of conventional x-ray output.
Images can be viewed only five seconds after capture and can be simultaneously viewed on an a subpanel attached to the system, achieving a highly efficient workflow.

Helping resolve the various management issues that clinics face

Recent years have seen an increase in demand for the digitization of medical equipment and the enhancement of patient services, and this demand is revolutionizing the environments in which clinics operate. In addition to providing products, Konica Minolta operates call centers in Japan and the United States that are staffed with specialists 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, helping to bring a sense of comfort to users of high-end digital diagnostic equipment. These centers offer remote maintenance services, such as explanations of use, response to software malfunctions and the ability to immediately determine the status of hardware breakdowns.
