However, using the Aero DR Auto-Stitching System allows studies to be performed in much less time due to the automatic movement of the detector and specialized slit combination.

Aero DR Auto-Stitching System

Introducing a unique auto-stitching system with the Aero DR flat panel detector for high image quality and excellent workflow that is applicable to any X-ray system. In general, existing DR stitching process requires the patient to remain still for extended periods of time. However, using the Aero DR Auto-Stitching System allows studies to be performed in much less time due to the automatic movement of the detector and specialized slit combination.

High Image Quality and Lower Doses

The optimal combination of the Aero DR detector, using a Konica Minolta Csi scinillator, combined with the newly developed low noise readout circuitry delivers excellent DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency). This makes the Aero DR effective in reducing exposure dose.

Shared FPD solution

The Aero DR flat panel detector can be shared for not only cassette wireless digital radiography but also our unique auto-stitching system.

Easy Setting the Entire Exposure Range

A moving slit scans light exposure field and detects the upper and lower edge of the field, then the system automatically determines the number of exposures and each position in just 5 seconds which is much shorter than alternative DR stitching systems. This unique slit can dramatically reduce the time it takes to complete stitching exams and significantly improve the technologist’s workflow.

Stitching process of Aero DR Auto-Stitching System

During auto-stitching process, alignment of the panel and the X-ray beam via the specialized Aero DR slit mechanism is automatically performed for each study. The X-ray tube remains stationary throughout the entire study and acquired images are automatically transferred to the CS-7 console as they are acquired. After exposure is complete, an auto-stitched image appears on the display of the CS-7 console in just 18 seconds or less.

Storing and handling unused film
After confirming that film is packaged, store unused film, like ordinary film, in a cool, dark place (recommended temperature:10-23℃(50-73°F)) where it will not be affected by radiation. If film is stored in a place where temperature is more than 30℃(86°F)for a long period of time, the quality of the film may change. When storing film in a film storage bin, it should be stored in a place where temperature is not likely to rise.

Storing and handling processed film (image)

  1. As heat-processed-type film is susceptible to high temperature or strong sunlight even after it’s processed, it should be stored in a cool, dark place. When storing film for a long period of time, be sure to place it in a film bag and store it in a place where temperature is 25℃(77°F) or below. The rise in density or discoloration may occur more frequently as the temperature rises.
  2. If the film is stored at a temperature of 40℃(104°F)or higher, this may cause density changes or discoloration even over a short period of time. Avoid leaving the film in a car in daytime, or using it with a hot lamp etc.
  3. As the film is susceptible to strong sunlight as well as temperature, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, or leaving it on a viewing screen for a long time,

Dry film should not be cleaned with alcohol or cleaning agent that may cause density blotching and other defects. The film is resistant to water, so it may be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with water.
