Konica Minolta mKDR Xpress Mobile X-Ray System

Compact Design & Exceptional Portability

The mKDR Xpress is Konica Minolta’s smallest and lightest mobile X-ray system. Its space-saving footprint is purpose-built to navigate cramped corridors, crowded patient rooms, and tight clinical spaces with ease.

Collapsible Column & Swivel Arm for Safe Transport

The physical design features a collapsing column and a flexible swivel arm to maximize operator visibility during transport. This ensures precise positioning at the bedside without sacrificing clinical utility, making transport through busy hallways safe and efficient.

Ultra-Compact Footprint & Lightweight Build

Built to easily maneuver through tight doorways and around complex bedside medical equipment, the lightweight chassis allows for effortless transport. Any technologist can smoothly steer and position the unit, reducing physical strain and accelerating setup times.

Customizable Mobile Interface

The system features a user-friendly, mobile-specific software interface. This interface can be tailored directly to your department’s specific imaging workflow, minimizing screen time and keeping the focus on patient care.

Superior Image Quality & Workflow Efficiency

This system utilizes advanced imaging technology to deliver exceptional diagnostic clarity directly at the patient’s bedside.

High-Performance AeroDR® Detector Technology

The mKDR Xpress integrates with the AeroDR® digital radiography platform to streamline daily imaging workflows. The standard 14″ x 17″ detector captures highly detailed, diagnostic-quality digital images in seconds, significantly improving bedside clinical productivity.

Optimized Ultra Imaging Software

Modified specifically for mobile environments, the integrated Ultra software provides highly detailed bone and soft-tissue images from a single exposure. This advanced processing helps clinical staff capture high-contrast, clear images on the first try, reducing the need for repeat exposures.

Advanced Features for Bedside Workflows

By integrating advanced user interface controls directly onto the mobile unit, this system minimizes the time technologists spend walking back and forth between the patient and the main console.

Tube-Mounted Console & Instant Image Preview

An industry-unique, tube-mounted graphical user interface (GUI) lets technologists adjust exposure settings directly at the patient’s side. The integrated preview screen displays captured images instantly, allowing immediate verification of image quality and patient positioning before leaving the bedside.

Dual Collimator Controls & Laser Alignment

Equipped with both front and back collimator controls, the mKDR Xpress ensures effortless manual adjustments regardless of how the system is positioned relative to the bed. Built-in laser alignment guarantees precise targeting, reducing the need for repeat exposures.

Versatile Clinical Applications Across High-Acuity Care

The mKDR Xpress brings advanced diagnostic imaging directly to patients who cannot be easily transported to a central radiology department.

• Intensive Care Units (ICU) & Coronary Care Units (CCU): Rapidly perform critical chest and abdominal imaging directly at the bedside without disrupting life-support equipment.
• Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU): Safely provide gentle, low-dose imaging for highly sensitive neonatal patients.
• Operating Rooms (OR): Achieve quick, high-resolution imaging during orthopedic, surgical, or line-placement procedures.
• Emergency & Urgent Care: Accelerate triage and diagnosis for trauma or acute respiratory cases where speed and portability are critical.
• Exam Room Backup: Functions seamlessly as a highly capable backup radiography system for dedicated exam rooms during high-volume periods.

Optional Dynamic Digital Radiography Upgrade

For facilities looking to expand their diagnostic capabilities, the mKDR Xpress is available in an optional DDR-ready configuration. This breakthrough, FDA-approved imaging technique enables the visualization of anatomy in motion (“X-ray that moves”) without diluting the primary utility of standard digital radiography.

True Physiological Motion Visualization

The optional DDR-ready configuration acquires up to 15 sequential radiographs per second and plays them back as a cine loop. This clinical advancement allows radiologists and attending physicians to directly observe the active physiological cycle and musculoskeletal motion.

High-Resolution Large-Format Motion Imaging

The system captures high-resolution motion studies as individual radiographic images up to 17″ x 17″ in size. This generous field of view provides complete structural context for pulmonary, diaphragm, and orthopedic movement studies.

Fast & Low-Dose Workflows

In less than a minute, this technology provides up to 20 seconds of physiological movement through a simple, automated acquisition. The exam is performed by standard radiology staff without requiring a physician’s presence, delivering motion-imaging capabilities at a radiation dose significantly lower than an average fluoroscopy exam.

Convenient Standard Imaging Versatility

The DDR-ready system remains fully functional for all standard, static X-ray examinations. Standard and motion images can be captured while the patient is standing, seated, or on a table, maintaining complete utility across clinical disciplines.
