The KDR Flex Overhead X-ray System is an advanced digital radiography platform engineered to adapt to the most demanding clinical environments. This fully integrated system combines a high-frequency generator, a specialized radiographic table, & a wall stand to support all conventional X-ray applications. By bridging the gap between clinical precision & operational ease, this system offers versatile performance for high-volume hospitals, orthopedic clinics, & diagnostic centers.
Versatile Performance for Diverse Clinical Needs
Whether you are performing routine chest X-rays or complex orthopedic studies, the KDR Flex scales to your specific workflow. The system supports manual, semi-auto, & fully automated modes, providing the flexibility needed for various patient types, including bariatric patients or those in wheelchairs & on gurneys. With more than 16 feet of travel & 360-degree angulation across all motorized axes, you can capture every view with ease.
Advanced Automation & Precision Tracking
Reduce repetitive tasks & focus entirely on patient care. The KDR Flex features sophisticated auto-tracking & alignment capabilities that significantly streamline the imaging process.
Intelligent Auto-Positioning
The system automatically tracks the tube & moves to the detector center on the table or wall stand, ensuring perfect source-to-image distance (SID), alignment, & angulation every time.
Zero-Effort Handle Technology
Internal sensors in the capacitive handle allow the tube head to follow the operator’s hand effortlessly, promoting comfort & reducing physical strain during a busy shift.
User-Focused Design for High-Volume Facilities
Designed to handle heavy workloads while maintaining peak image quality, the KDR Flex integrates seamlessly into busy radiology departments.
- Integrated Radiographic Hardware: The system features a factory-integrated high-frequency generator, elevating table, & wall stand, ensuring consistent performance across all conventional imaging applications.
- Tube-Mounted Interface: An integrated 12-inch high-resolution touchscreen on the tube head allows technologists to review images & control the system without leaving the patient’s side, significantly reducing exam time.
- Structural Stability: A reinforced ceiling suspension design & electromagnetic locks eliminate instability & vibration, ensuring accurate positioning & sharper, clearer diagnostic images.
- Advanced Image Stitching: Automated stitching for full-spine & long-bone studies can be completed in as little as 12 seconds.
- AeroDR Integration: The system is fully compatible with Konica Minolta’s AeroDR glassless flat panel detectors, providing industry-leading 100µm resolution.
- Weight-Bearing Excellence: The elevating table includes a smooth mechanism & supports up to 800 lbs., ensuring safety & comfort for all patient populations.
Dynamic Digital Radiography Capabilities
The KDR Flex is DDR-ready, allowing you to observe movement like never before. This low-dose X-ray imaging technique enables visualization of anatomy in motion.
The system can acquire up to 15 sequential radiographs per second & play them back as a cine loop, allowing you to observe physiological cycles & individual radiographic images up to 17 by 17 inches in size. This advancement allows clinics to complete complex motion studies faster than with traditional fluoroscopy.
Advantages of DDR
- Fast Exams: Clinicians can capture up to 20 seconds of physiological movement in less than a minute, performed by radiology staff without the need for a physician to be present.
- Low Dose Radiation: DDR utilizes lower radiation levels than an average fluoroscopy exam.
- Operational Versatility: The system performs all standard X-rays with images taken standing, seated, or on a table.
