When a Full-Size 17×17 Detector Is the Right Choice

Broad Anatomical Coverage for Everyday Imaging

The 17×17 detector size supports a wide range of routine radiographic examinations without the limitations of smaller specialty detectors. Its larger imaging area makes it practical for facilities that perform diverse imaging studies throughout the day.

One Detector for Multiple Examination Types

Rather than switching between multiple detector sizes, many facilities rely on a 17×17 detector for the majority of routine digital radiography examinations. Its versatile imaging area supports everything from chest imaging to extremity studies while simplifying everyday workflow.

A General-Purpose Alternative to Specialty Detector Sizes

The Universal-DR 17×17 fills the gap between compact detectors designed for smaller anatomy and long-length detectors designed for extended anatomy. It provides broad coverage for everyday imaging without being limited to a specialized clinical application.

Available Tethered & Wireless Configurations

The 20/20 Imaging Universal-DR 17×17 is available in multiple configurations to support different imaging environments and workflow preferences.

Tethered Configuration

The tethered configuration provides continuous wired communication between the detector and acquisition workstation. This option is well suited for fixed imaging rooms where consistent connectivity is preferred throughout the workday.

Wireless Configuration

The wireless configuration provides greater positioning flexibility by reducing cable management during image acquisition. It is well suited for imaging environments where detector mobility supports workflow efficiency.

Hybrid Workflow Flexibility

Depending on the selected configuration, the detector can support wireless operation, tethered communication, or hybrid workflows that combine wired power with wireless image acquisition. This flexibility allows facilities to choose the workflow that best complements their clinical environment while supporting different imaging preferences across compatible DR systems.

How the Universal-DR 17×17 Supports Different Imaging Workflows

Modernize Existing X-Ray Rooms

The 20/20 Imaging Universal-DR 17×17 can be integrated into compatible DR upgrade and DR retrofit projects, allowing facilities to modernize existing X-ray rooms without replacing compatible imaging equipment. This approach helps facilities transition from film or computed radiography (CR) to digital radiography while preserving existing room infrastructure whenever practical.

Support New Digital Radiography Installations

The detector also integrates into new DR rooms where a full-size detector supports routine imaging across a broad range of examinations.

Adapt to Different Clinical Workflows

Whether a facility prefers tethered communication, wireless flexibility, or a hybrid workflow, the Universal-DR 17×17 can be configured to support the operational needs of compatible imaging environments.

Technologies That Support Everyday Digital Radiography

Cesium (CsI) Scintillator

The detector uses a Cesium (CsI) scintillator to efficiently convert X-ray energy into digital image data while supporting image quality across routine digital radiography examinations.

16-Bit Image Acquisition

The detector captures images using 16-bit acquisition, providing a broad grayscale range for visualization across diverse examination types.

High-Resolution Detector Design

A 139 μm pixel pitch and 3.6 lp/mm spatial resolution help support detailed digital image acquisition for routine clinical imaging.

Compatible Imaging Platforms

The 20/20 Imaging Universal-DR 17×17 is designed for compatible digital radiography systems that support the detector, acquisition software, and overall imaging workflow. Compatibility depends on detector configuration, workstation software, and the complete imaging system.

Acquisition Software Designed for the Universal-DR 17×17

The detector integrates with compatible acquisition software to support image capture, image processing, DICOM communication, image review, and routine digital radiography workflow. Available software capabilities vary depending on the complete imaging system configuration.
