Overview

As more healthcare facilities adopt digital radiography, they all want to lower costs, increase efficiency and, most importantly, enhance patient care. But achieving these goals will require equipment that's been designed to help you meet them, such as the Revolution XR/d™ system from GE Healthcare.
The Revolution XR/d has been engineered to:

• Enhance productivity throughout your department and beyond by eliminating cassette handling; speeding exam time; increasing throughput.
• Minimize retakes and archive space and virtually eliminate film and chemicals.
• Achieve consistently excellent results over the full range of radiographic procedures.
• Conduct procedures quickly with excellent radiation dose efficiency, thanks to a patient-friendly design.

Designed to Deliver the Diagnostic Utility and Reliability you need

The Revolution XR/d is designed to meet your strictest performance criteria today, and for many years to come. It starts with a patient-friendly design, but that's just the beginning.

Extraordinary diagnostic utility

The Revolution XR/d has been engineered to deliver superb diagnostic utility. It combines dose- efficient image quality with the procedural flexibility needed to handle virtually any radiographic exam. And with ultra-fast acquisition, readout, and exposure-to-exposure times, it's designed to accommodate the advanced applications of the future.

Reliable performance, year after year

Uptime-enhancing reliability was also a major priority in developing the Revolution XR/d. Features such as power- up diagnostics and error alarms are designed to speed troubleshooting. And it's fully compatible with GE's InSite interactive remote diagnostics, repair and applications- assistance network, to facilitate prompt resolution should a problem arise.

High-productivity operation

The Revolution XR/d has also been configured to help you realize digital radiography's full productivity potential. Standard capabilities include an intuitive user interface, as well as DICOM 3.0 compatibility, HIS/RIS interface and bar- code scanning of patient information. Just as important, the Revolution XR/d features a range of advanced room-automation features - including Automatic Exposure Control (AEC). Automatic collimation, image processing, printing and routing. And a quick and easy Quality Assurance program that lets you transmit phantom images to GE InSite™ for prompt, remote evaluation of image quality.

Digital technology means there's no need to waste time carrying a heavy cassette back and forth.
You'll also be able to manage exam results quickly and easily, thanks to such capabilities as automatic annotation, printing, routing and archiving online storage for more than 800 images and almost instantaneous exam retrieval and transmission.

The goal: fast exams that are easier on your patients, and help ensure a solid return on your investment.
