FlashPad™ HD detector features include:
- Thin and lightweight, packing four times more pixels per area than the original FlashPad™ detector
- Industry recognized high DQE at all frequencies
- Ready when you need them with QuickCharge, QuickConnect, and QuickShare capabilities
- Available in three sizes: 43 x 43 cm (17 x 17 in), 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in), 25 x 30 cm (10 x 12 in)
Helix™ 2.2 Advanced Image Processing features include:
- AI Brightness and Contrast to deliver improved image consistency with 59 anatomy / view combinations
- Local Contrast Enhancement to improve spine visualization and lung detail
- Detail Preserving Noise Filter to help reduce noise levels
- Real-time IP Looks for faster and easier fine-tuned image look customizations
- IQ Compare for simultaneous viewing of standard and customized looks to simplify comparisons
Acquisition workstation features include:
- A 24-inch user interface with an optional touchscreen.‡ This reduces desktop space (compared to having two 19-inch monitors) and improves workflow
- Faster access to images and faster image processing due to increased computing power
- Common layout and workflow with the latest GE HealthCare mobile radiography systems
- Customizable menu with quick access tools
Live streaming camera features include:
- Stay connected to patients, monitor their safety, and intervene if necessary
- Clearly see patients’ breathing patterns to better time exposures
- Potentially reduce rejects from patient motion or incorrect orientation
- Enable training while minimizing the number of people in the room
The Intelligent Workflow Suite includes:
- Position Assist – Shows the detector boundaries, ion chamber locations, and the active ion chambers so you can avoid position-related retakes
- Technique Assist – Measures the thickness of the patient, suggests a size optimized to the specific patient. This helps create more consistent images
- Patient Snapshot – Takes an optical picture at the same time as the X-ray exposure, providing context to the radiologist
