January 20, 2014 - With a focus on helping radiology departments work smarter, both systems were designed to maximize ease-of-use and versatility, Viztek has introduced new U-Arm DR and Overhead Tube Crane (OTC) systems.
Designed with the technologist in mind, the new Viztek U-Arm enables exams to be completed quickly and with the most accuracy. Advanced features enable the overall exam time to be shortened, while simultaneously helping assure that the time with the patient is more focused and productive. Specific features include the following:
- The user interface has a sleek design, allowing technologists to learn utilization quickly. The system enables patient-side viewing and control as well.
- The U-Arm DR allows for an unlimited number of positions to be pre-programmed into the system, ensuring that technicians are always prepared and spend minimal time re-positioning for each patient x-ray -- while further enhancing overall throughput.
- Along with advanced stitching capabilities, the available software paired with the U-Arm DR offers a pediatric imaging package allowing facilities to effectively reduce radiation exposure to children.
The new OTC combines the benefits of Viztek's existing chest and table systems into one unit for those facilities that are seeking a complete room replacement. Also beneficial to the technologists, the system's features provide significant versatility and ease-of-use to enable faster processes. Key features include:
- The new OTC system delivers enhanced usability and speed, supported by its new remote control capabilities, which offer unlimited APR and pre-sets. The remote allows for increased quality care for the patient and ease of use for the technologist.
- The versatile system offers dual movement modes with both manual and automatic options for movement mode and can take on unlimited pre-programming to ensure that the most ideal, accurate positioning for any given patient during x-ray is available at a moment's notice.
- Paired with the Ultra DR software, Viztek's OTC delivers improved workflow by enabling smarter navigation of the system with very few necessary clicks, while overall efficiency benefits from the upgraded stitching functions.
Both the U-Arm DR and the Viztek OTC system can be paired with Viztek's pediatric imaging software package to support low dose imaging initiatives.
