The Definium 6000 digital radiography system is fast, simple and durable with advanced applications that save you time and add diagnostic power. Quality exams are quick and easy with an automated motorized table and wallstand, automated exam protocols, and fast image preview. Removable detectors give you unprecedented freedom in positioning for exams.
Whether you operate a demanding emergency room or trauma center or perform routine orthopedic imaging, you get long, reliable performance and superb low-dose images. What more could you ask from an affordable digital radiography system?
High Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) allows higher-quality images at the same dose, or lower-dose exams without compromising image quality.
Advanced applications heighten your diagnostic power and make challenging exams quick and simple.
Efficient workflow
Digital image acquisition means faster exams that improve your throughput and help satisfy your patients.
Auto Protocol Assist instantly selects and initiates exam protocols.
Worklist functionality saves time and prevents errors by automatically loading patient information on the acquisition workstation.
Ergonomics and patient comfort
Automated movement and quick adjustment of the wallstand and table detectors saves time and makes patient positioning easy.
Removable detectors simplify cross-lateral and offsite shots and imaging of trauma cases and people in wheelchairs.
Reliability
High-strength structural components and rugged portable detectors ensure long life and reliable performance.
World-class service includes InSite™ online diagnostics repair that on average can resolve 40% of issues remotely within an hour.
A “Live in Five” initiative ensures connection to an online engineer within five minutes for urgent issues.
Sustainability
Replacing two GE analog X-Ray rooms with one GE Definium 6000 X-Ray room could reduce energy consumption by over 3,900 kWh per year, a reduction of more than 70%*, while maintaining imaging volume. This can also reduce your space requirements by more than 40% and avoid water and chemical use for film. GE digital x-ray is a smart choice for the environment.
* Estimated benefits for replacing two analog systems and associated film processor with one digital system while maintaining imaging volume at 50,000 images per year. (Depending on system configuration)

TECHNOLOGY
Diagnostic power
The GE-patented non-tiled amorphous silicon flat-panel detector with cesium iodide scintillator delivers high Detective Quantum Efficiency to take full advantage of signal while reducing dose.
Advanced applications include Tissue Equalization, Auto Image Pasting, and Dual-Energy Subtraction.
Workflow efficiency
Auto Protocol Assist automatically selects and initiates exam protocols through an interface with the Radiology Information System. Protocols are matched with a predefined field of view, so no setup is needed.
Auto detent and auto-tracking motorized vertical movement of the OTS enables fine, comfortable and quick adjustment of the wallstand and table detectors. The detectors remain aligned with the vertical and longitudinal movements of the OTS, so the technologist can match the center of the scan automatically.
An intuitive OTS touchscreen displays multiple field-of-view selections in portrait or landscape views, with all images centered on the detector.
The Definium workstation enables image preview in five seconds with two dual-core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 sequences, or Quad-Care Intel Xeon Processor E5000 Sequence with Intel 64 Architecture.
Durability
Portable detectors can sustain weights up to 160 kg and are crafted from durable materials including carbon fiber found in Formula 1 racecars.
Structural components use high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloy.
Service
InSite™ service connects your system to GE online engineers by way of broadband Internet for fast diagnostics and online repair.
APPLICATIONS
Tissue Equalization
Improve contrast and visibility in over- and under-penetrated regions of an image without compromising contrast in other regions of interest.
Get more diagnostic information in a single shot, reducing retakes and increasing throughput.
Auto Image Pasting
Get seamless long-bone or full-spine images in one highly automated exam.
Image acquisition time for a 3-image exam is less than 10 seconds; pasting and processing time is less than 12 seconds.
The software automatically calculates how many images are needed to capture the full region of interest (up to 150 cm).
The OTS and wallstand detector move automatically for complete anatomical coverage, acquiring two to five overlapping images.
The system seamlessly combines the images into one high-quality composite picture.
Dual-Energy Subtraction
Get better visibility of details in some chest regions: See soft-tissue lesions, bone lesions, and calcifications more conspicuously.
The software separates soft-tissue and bone structures by acquiring two chest images taken milliseconds apart.
Diagnostic confidence is enhanced with a small increase in radiation dose.
