ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 26 — Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas, Texas, showcased its dedication to high-quality pediatric care with the purchase and installation of a CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution digital radiography system from Carestream Health. The DRX-Evolution boosts the hospital’s medical imaging capacity and streamlines its imaging workflow.
“With the DRX-Evolution, we can generate higher quality images that can improve patient care, and this DR system is equipped to deliver long-length exams required by the many orthopedic patients we serve,” said Molly Dempsey-Robertson, M.D., medical director of Radiology at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. “The DRX-1C detector also captures images in seconds, which is a dramatic advantage when dealing with pediatric patients.”
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children is one of the nation's leading pediatric centers for the treatment of orthopedic conditions, certain related neurological disorders and learning disorders, such as dyslexia.
The cesium iodide-based CARESTREAM DRX-1C wireless DR detector offers exceptional image quality and improved DQE (detective quantum efficiency), making it an ideal fit for pediatric, orthopedic, trauma and other specialty environments in addition to general x-ray exams.
The detector can be used in the wall stand or table, and then moved to perform tabletop extremity exams and complex orthopedic exams. Images are available for immediate review by hospital physicians and specialists.
The DRX family includes the CARESTREAM DRX-1 System; the CARESTREAM DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kits; the CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution modular DR suite; the CARESTREAM DRX-Transportable System; and the CARESTREAM DRX-Ascend System.
