Odyssey Plus Bedside X-Ray Workflow

The Odyssey Plus is designed around the movement and positioning demands of mobile radiography. Motor-assisted transport, a flexible telescopic arm, and controls at both the main console and tube head help technologists bring imaging directly to the patient and manage exams without unnecessary movement around the system.

Easy Moving System for Motor-Assisted Transport

The patented Easy Moving System uses motor-assisted drive and capacitive-touch handle controls to support one-handed movement. The system can travel forward at up to approximately 3.4 mph (5.5 km/h).

At low speed, individual wheel movement can also be used to fine-tune positioning around beds, wheelchairs, and other obstacles.

Four-Step Telescopic Arm & Tube Positioning

The four-step telescopic arm extends from 24.8 to 48 in. (63 to 122 cm). The telescopic column provides a maximum SID of 79.5 in. (202 cm) and a minimum focal distance from the floor of less than 20.8 in. (53 cm).

Additional positioning capabilities include:

• • Column rotation of ±317°
  • Collimator rotation of ±90° with a 0° detent
  • Head rotation perpendicular to the arm from -30° to +90°
  • Head rotation around the arm axis of ±180°
  • Electromagnetic brakes for multidirectional tube-head movement

These positioning ranges allow the X-ray source to be adjusted around the patient without repeatedly moving the entire system.

Dual Touchscreens for Bedside Imaging Controls

The primary 19 in. (48.3 cm) color touchscreen provides image preview and access to image-enhancement tools.

A secondary 8.4 in. (21.3 cm) touchscreen on the head assembly allows positioning acceptance, technique adjustments, and image preview closer to the patient.

Retractable Column & Transport Safety Features

The fully counterbalanced telescopic column retracts to a height of 50.7 in. (129 cm), providing a lower profile and clearer forward view during transport.

An Emergency OFF switch allows the unit to be transferred to manual movement when needed. Optional anti-collision proximity sensors are also available.

AMRAD Medical Odyssey Plus vs. Odyssey Mobile X-Ray

The AMRAD Medical Odyssey Plus uses a 40 kW high-frequency generator and four-step telescopic arm, while the AMRAD Medical Odyssey Mobile X-Ray System uses a 32 kW generator and three-step telescopic arm. Both systems are designed for mobile radiography, but their generator output and arm configurations differ.

The Odyssey arm retracts to 27.7 in. (70.5 cm), while the Odyssey Plus retracts to 24.8 in. (63 cm). Both extend to 48 in. (122 cm).

For facilities comparing the two systems, the primary differences are generator output and telescopic arm design.

Odyssey Plus Clinical Environments & Applications

The Odyssey Plus is designed for general radiography in clinical environments where imaging needs to be brought to the patient rather than performed in a fixed X-ray room.

Clinical Environments for the Odyssey Plus

The system can support mobile radiography workflows in:

• • Hospitals and health systems
  • Medical imaging facilities and departments
  • Inpatient and bedside care areas
  • Emergency care environments
  • High-dependency patient care environments
  • Other healthcare facilities with a need for point-of-care general radiography

Its compact footprint, motor-assisted movement, wireless detectors, and flexible tube positioning are particularly useful where access around the patient is limited or transporting the patient to a fixed radiography room is not ideal.

Odyssey Plus General Radiography Applications

The Canon CXDI-Pro detectors available with the Odyssey Plus are designed for general radiography. The system supports mobile digital radiography workflows that require flexible patient access, tube positioning, and wireless image acquisition.

Canon image-processing capabilities also include enhancement settings designed to improve visualization of small structures, bone detail, tubes, and catheters.

Canon CXDI-Pro Wireless DR Integration for the Odyssey Plus

The Odyssey Plus with Canon DR can be fully integrated with Canon CXDI-Pro wireless digital radiography detectors and Canon CXDI Control Software NE.

This configuration combines X-ray generation, wireless image acquisition, image preview, and processing within the mobile radiography workflow.

Canon CXDI-Pro Detector Size Options

Three detector formats are available:

• • CXDI-803C: 11 x 14 in. (273 x 349 mm)
  • CXDI-703C: 14 x 17 in. (349 x 426 mm)
  • CXDI-403C: 17 x 17 in. (426 x 426 mm)

The multiple detector sizes allow facilities to select a configuration based on imaging requirements, positioning needs, and preferred detector handling.

Choosing a Canon CXDI-Pro Detector Size

The CXDI-803C provides the smallest imaging area and is the lightest of the three options at 4.6 lb. (2.1 kg) with battery. The CXDI-703C expands the imaging area to 14 x 17 in. (349 x 426 mm) at 6.4 lb. (2.9 kg), while the CXDI-403C provides a 17 x 17 in. (426 x 426 mm) imaging area at 7.7 lb. (3.5 kg).

Facilities can choose a detector format based on the balance of imaging area, detector handling, and their mobile radiography workflow.
