Acuity PDR Setup & Positioning Demonstration

See how the Acuity PDR is configured and positioned for portable imaging, including system setup and movement of the cart.

Radmedix Acuity PDR 2 kW Versus Acuity PDR+ 5 kW

The Acuity PDR is available in two generator configurations. Both use a 1.2 mm focal spot, 16 technique memory settings, rotating laser collimator, and 115 lb (52.2 kg) cart. The primary differences are generator output, exposure range, battery voltage, and X-ray head weight.

Acuity PDR 2 kW

The 2 kW Acuity PDR operates from 40 to 100 kVp at 20/25 mA, with up to 50 mAs. Its X-ray head weighs 26 lb (11.8 kg).

Acuity PDR+ 5 kW

The Acuity PDR+ increases maximum output to 5 kW and operates from 40 to 125 kVp at 20 to 100 mA, with up to 200 mAs. Its X-ray head weighs 29 lb (13.2 kg).

The PDR+ provides the broader output range, while the 2 kW PDR uses a 3 lb (1.4 kg) lighter X-ray head. Detailed technical differences are listed in the specifications below.

Radmedix Acuity PDR Classic Cart vs. Tough Cart

The Acuity PDR can be configured with either the Classic Cart or Tough Cart based on how and where the system needs to be transported.

Acuity PDR Classic Cart

The Classic Cart provides the standard Acuity PDR stand configuration with integrated detector storage and a folding design for moving the system between imaging locations.

The system can fold into a more compact shape after use and be tilted onto its transport wheels for loading into a vehicle.

Acuity PDR Tough Cart

The Tough Cart is designed for more demanding transport conditions. Its rugged, lightweight design adds folding locking arms and legs, a pull-and-latch folding system, locking wheel brakes, and durable solid tires.

These features support frequent movement between locations and travel across more challenging surfaces. Radmedix also positions the Tough Cart for field, emergency-response, and other environments where portable X-ray equipment may need to overcome transportation barriers.

Acuity PDR Applications for Medical & Veterinary X-Ray

The Acuity PDR is designed for mixed imaging demands where bringing the X-ray system to the patient can be more practical than moving the patient to a fixed radiography room.

Home Health & Remote X-Ray

Battery-powered operation and a folding cart support healthcare providers who need to move X-ray equipment between patient locations.

More than 300 exposures can be performed on a full charge without keeping the system connected to a wall outlet during use. The folding cart and dedicated detector storage also help keep the equipment together during transport.

In-Clinic X-Ray at the Patient

The Acuity PDR can also be used within clinics when X-ray imaging needs to be brought directly to the patient.

Its X-ray head can be quickly released from the stand for handheld positioning in difficult-to-access exams, providing an alternative when the cart-mounted head cannot easily reach the required position.

Veterinary & Mixed-Practice X-Ray

The Acuity PDR can support veterinary radiography where portable positioning and battery-powered operation are beneficial. Its quick-detach X-ray head, cordless design, and transportable cart help bring imaging closer to the animal and accommodate exams where a fixed X-ray system may be less practical.

The system can also support mixed-practice and surgical imaging needs when flexible equipment positioning is important.

Radmedix Acuity PDR Battery, Positioning & Transport Workflow

The Acuity PDR combines battery capacity, positioning tools, equipment storage, and a folding stand to simplify the steps involved in moving, setting up, positioning, and transporting the system.

300+ Exposures Per Charge & 10-Minute Rapid Charging

A full lithium-battery charge supports more than 300 exposures. When additional power is needed, a 10-minute rapid charge provides capacity for up to 50 exposures.

This allows imaging to be performed without keeping the system connected to an electrical outlet during use.

Quick-Detach Head, 40-Inch SID Indicator & 16 Technique Presets

The X-ray head quickly releases from the stand when additional positioning flexibility is needed.

For cart-mounted imaging, a laser source-to-image distance (SID) indicator identifies the correct 40 in (101.6 cm) imaging distance when its two laser points converge. A measuring tape and 90° rotating LED laser collimator provide additional positioning and field-alignment guidance.

Sixteen customizable pre-programmed X-ray techniques, programmable timed exposure controls, and soft-touch buttons provide access to commonly used exposure settings.

Folding Cart Design & Latching DR Detector Storage

The cart folds into a more compact configuration for transport. A latching compartment built into the stand provides dedicated storage for protecting and transporting the digital radiography (DR) detector with the system.

An adjustable laptop mount keeps the imaging workstation positioned with the Acuity PDR during use.

Modular Design, Tube Protection & 14-Fault-Code Diagnostics

The Acuity PDR uses modular construction designed to simplify servicing. Built-in tube protection helps protect the X-ray tube, while automatic diagnostics use 14 fault codes to identify system errors and support troubleshooting.

Acuity PDR Digital Radiography Integration with G4 Acuity DR

The Acuity PDR can be paired with a Radmedix wireless DR detector and AccuVue software for digital image capture and review. Detector and software configurations may vary based on the selected system package.

G4 Acuity DR 14 × 17 Wireless Detector

The Acuity PDR can be paired with the Radmedix G4 Acuity DR 14 × 17 in (35.6 × 43.2 cm) wireless detector.

The G4 Acuity DR 1417 uses a flexible glass-free substrate designed to better absorb impacts during portable use. It communicates wirelessly with the image workstation and can be stored in the Acuity PDR’s latching detector compartment during transport.

Detailed detector features and specifications are available on the dedicated G4 Acuity DR product page.

Acuity PDR Imaging with AccuVue Software

When configured with a Radmedix DR system, the Acuity PDR works with AccuVue software for digital image acquisition and review.

Together, the X-ray generator, wireless detector, image workstation, and AccuVue software provide the components for a digital portable X-ray workflow without requiring a fixed radiography room.

For healthcare providers comparing portable X-ray options, the Radmedix Acuity PDR combines battery-powered operation, 2 kW or 5 kW output, detachable X-ray head positioning, two cart configurations, and wireless digital radiography compatibility within one configurable system. MXR also provides X-ray service and repair for radiography equipment, including preventative maintenance, repairs, parts, and technical support.
