CMT SmartSpot PrimaX™ RF
High-Resolution Digital Photospot System

The SmartSPOT PrimaX™ RF is a high-resolution digital imaging system designed for use with interventional and remote R/F tables from any vendor. The system’s high-resolution 1,024 x 1,024 pixel digital camera and optics can be interfaced to an image intensifier from any leading manufacturer. Likewise, the SmartSPOT PrimaX™ RF can be connected to virtually any generator and to any DICOM 3.0 compliant HIS/RIS and PACS system.

Specifically designed to process fluoroscopy and radiography images, theSmartSPOT PrimaX™ RF eliminates the need for cassette filming and 105mm spot cameras. The system’s unique combination of state of the art data acquisition and image processing technologies ensures consistently high image quality and reduced doses for patient and operator.

True Simultaneity

The SmartSPOT PrimaX™ RF's robust combination of software and hardware provides considerable flexibility and time savings. A single system can be shared simultaneously by two users, with one in-room and the other handling image review, post-processing or documentation at the console. Reviewing, post-processing and filming can be carried out in parallel with patient examinations, thus increasing clinical efficiency.
