Enhance your diagnostic accuracy with exceptional image clarity

Maximize efficiency with the cutting-edge 17”x17” Cesium Iodide (CSI) detector. It delivers superb bone and soft-tissue visualization from a single study exposure, allowing you to reach diagnoses faster.

The KDR® Advanced U-Arm System ensures consistent alignment between the X-ray tube and DR panel, no matter the panel angle or swivel arm tilt position. Plus, its durable, protective panel enclosure enhances longevity and stability.

Created with patient convenience in mind to save time

To save you valuable time, the KDR® Advanced U-Arm System automatically swivels into position. The system retrieves exam information instantly and moves to a predetermined position and source-to-image receptor distance (SID), further speeding up patient positioning.

The advanced detector and Ultra® acquisition software then work together to quickly enhance the image.

Simplified exams

To streamline the process, the operator can verify the patient’s information directly on the tube-mounted or remote console. After the exposure, the image is displayed on-screen for review within three seconds. Once approved, the system automatically prepares for the next exam, reducing downtime between patients.

Accurate Control

Effortlessly switch from PA to lateral positions without repositioning the patient. Independent SID controls on the tube and detector support a range of common radiology imaging views, including wheelchair and table work.

The perfect match

KDR® Advanced U-Arm System

Experience superior-quality radiography in compact spaces with the KDR® Advanced U-Arm System.

Designed for Efficiency

Maximize every square foot of office space with our flexible, floor-mounted system, perfect for accommodating 8’ ceilings. This design not only saves space but also enhances positioning capabilities.

Optimized Positioning

The system features a small form factor detector for easy head-end and foot-end access, simplifying anatomy positioning. Patients can be placed in front or behind the detector, optimizing their positioning for the best results.

Advanced Movement Capabilities

The floor-to-wall-mounted main column allows vertical movement with a dual-speed, motorized swivel arm. This arm boasts a 135˚ range of motion with detents at 0˚, 30˚, 90˚, and 120˚, plus 39” of vertical arm movement.

Precision Patient Positioning

  • Tube Mounted Interface Control: The advanced collimator uses a linear laser beam with a light field indicator and three-knob manual control to ensure precise patient positioning.
  • Mobile Patient Table: Every U-Arm DR system includes a 440 lb. capacity mobile patient table, providing stability and ease of use.
  • Detector Side Control & Multi-Purpose Patient Positioning Indicator**

 

The KDR® Advanced U-Arm System combines innovative design with advanced technology, making it an ideal choice for high-quality radiography in smaller spaces.
