Overview

The CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System is Canon's first non-tethered detector. At a mere 7.5 pounds, the lightweight detector is the same size as standard ISO 4090 film cassettes. High resolution images are a result of a pixel pitch of just 125 microns. In addition to realizing a higher resolution as compared with previous Canon Digital Radiography Systems, the CXDI-70C Wireless is also more sensitive, reducing x-ray exposure to the patient.

Features

• Durable Cassette-size Detector
  The CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System is very lightweight at less than 8 pounds. It has the same dimensions as a standard ISO 4090 film cassette and fits into existing Bucky trays. A simple generator interface interlocks image acquisition and the x-ray exposure. For non-Bucky exposures, a handle unit (sold separately) is available for easier transport and attaching a grid.
• High Resolution and High Sensitivity
  With a 125 micron pixel pitch, the CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System delivers increased spatial resolution. The high signal-to-noise performance of the Cesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator helps reduce the X-ray exposure to the patient. Tomography and other exams that require an exposure time of up to 3 seconds can be performed.
• Wireless Range
  The CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System has a range that can be calibrated for signal strength. Depending upon the room in which the CXDI-70C Wireless is used, the power can be managed and potential interference can be reduced. Should the wireless connection be lost, the unit will automatically attempt to reconnect and to prevent image loss. Acquired images are stored locally in the on-board memory. Once reconnected, the images can be retrieved. Patient demographic data is not transmitted via wireless keeping the images anonymous. An optional wiring unit allows images to be transferred from a panel mounted in a Bucky to the control computer over hard wire.
• Immediate Results
  An on-screen preview image is available just 3 seconds after exposure. An additional monitor (not included) can be added for the immediate viewing of high-resolution images in the emergency department or radiography suite.
• Battery
  The battery lasts up to 6.5 hours and takes less than 3 hours to charge. The battery charger can charge up to 2 batteries at a time so a fresh battery can be continuously available. The control console includes a battery indicator for image count and power level monitoring. Additional batteries (sold separately) are also available.
• Portable and Flexible
  Each individual CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System can be used in multiple x-ray rooms. Up to 10 detectors can be registered for use in any room. A check-in unit in each room identifies the particular detector being used there.
• CXDI Control Software NE
  The CXDI-70C Wireless Digital Radiography System uses the Canon CXDI Control Software NE. The intuitive operation of this software gives a wide range of selections directly from the main menu and yet images can be taken within three touches. The CXDI Control Software NE also has advanced image processing that shows the subtle details of trabecular bone structure and soft tissue in the same image.
