Carestream Introduces Compact Vita Flex CR System That Delivers Affordable, High-Quality Digital Imaging in Diverse Environments

Flexible System Can Be Operated Vertically or Horizontally to Address Need for Image Processing in Compact Spaces

Carestream has introduced its compact new Vita Flex CR system that delivers excellent image quality and can be positioned virtually anywhere in a healthcare facility. This new system’s flexible design enables it to operate vertically as well as horizontally, so it can process CR cassettes sitting on the floor, a tabletop or desktop or even from the back of a van.

The affordable Vita Flex CR system can process multiple cassette sizes including: 8 x 10 in., 10 x 12 in., 24 x 30 cm, 14 x 14 in. and 14 x 17 in. This new system can address the diverse needs of imaging centers, private practices, urgent care facilities, smaller hospitals and mobile imaging operations, as well as orthopaedic, veterinary and chiropractic providers. Vita Flex CR is designed with three modular components to make it easy to install and service. It is available with a choice of two throughput rates—either 30 or 45 plates per hour.

A touch screen allows users to quickly and easily select desired body parts and views to speed the imaging process. Technique information can be acquired automatically, eliminating the need for manual entry and the possibility of inconsistent X-ray exposures among different users. A veterinary offering is also available and includes specialized software and cassettes.

This new model is designed to help facilities of all types and sizes move smoothly and affordably to digital imaging. ?
