Tokyo (March 10, 2022) - Konica Minolta, Inc. (Konica Minolta) today announced that it will launch the AeroDR 3 1417HL, a cassette-type digital X-ray system.
*1:DR stands for Digital Radiography, which receives X-ray radiation on the sensor panel and directly captures digital images. In general, DR is superior to CR in terms of image quality and responsiveness.
*2：CR stands for Computed Radiography, which produces an image on an imaging plate (IP) that replaces conventional X-ray film, and scans and digitalizes the images.
*3:Compared to Konica Minolta's CR cassette of the same size, CR Cassette RP4S110 1417.
*4:TFT stands for Thin Film Transistor, which is a switch used to read out electrical signals from the pixels of the sensor panel.
*5:A Cesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator (fluorescent substance) converts X-rays into visible light (fluorescent light). By enhancing its efficiency, clearer radiographic images can be obtained.
*6:DQE stands for Detective Quantum Efficiency, which is a measure of how effectively X-rays are used to create an image. Higher DQE means X-ray photons are captured more effectively, increasing the resolution with a lower dose.
*7:Ingress Protection (IP) is a standard for dust and water resistance defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IP rating does not guarantee that the model is perfectly dust- and water-resistant, or that damage or failure will never occur.
AeroDR 2 is a common name for AeroDR system 2 1417HQ (P-51).
