Radmedix Acuity VDR X-Ray System
- Category:

- Brand:
- Radmedix
The Radmedix Acuity VDR is an integrated veterinary X-ray system for practices and hospitals performing table-based radiography. A 30 kW high-frequency generator, 6-way positioning, 4-way floating table, and 21-inch touchscreen combine flexible patient positioning with software-integrated exposure control.
30 kW Generator, 21-Inch Touchscreen & Veterinary Table Design
The Radmedix Acuity VDR brings X-ray generation, patient positioning, exposure control, and digital imaging into a stationary system designed specifically for veterinary radiography. Its table, tube, collimator, and software controls work together to reduce unnecessary movement between patient positioning and image acquisition.
VDR Key Benefits
-
- 30 kW high-frequency X-ray generator
- 6-way system movement for flexible positioning
- 67 × 32 in. (1702 × 813 mm) 4-way floating table
- 21 in. table-side touchscreen
- AccuVue Vet software integration
- Auto-advancing exams with exposure footswitch
- Laser-lined collimator with LED light field
- 300 lb (136 kg) table capacity
- Integrated patient tie-downs and urine trough
The result is a veterinary X-ray system that allows the equipment to be adjusted around the patient while keeping imaging controls accessible near the table.
6-Way Positioning Around Veterinary Patients
The Acuity VDR combines tube-column travel, tube-head rotation, collimator rotation, and tabletop movement to provide multiple ways to align the X-ray beam and patient. This can reduce unnecessary patient repositioning when setting up routine and angled projections.
Lateral Tube Travel & 180° Tube Rotation
The tube column tracks from side to side across the table, while the tube head rotates through 180°. These movements give the operator additional flexibility when aligning the X-ray tube with different areas of anatomy.
67 × 32 in. 4-Way Floating Table
The 67 × 32 in. (1702 × 813 mm) tabletop moves in four directions, allowing the patient to be repositioned relative to the X-ray beam without repeatedly lifting or moving the animal.
The table supports patients up to 300 lb (136 kg).
Rotating Laser-Lined LED Collimator
The rotating collimator combines a laser alignment guide with an LED light field to help operators center and define the imaging field.
Together with the tube and table movement, the rotating collimator also provides added flexibility when setting up oblique projections.
Patient Tie-Downs & Integrated Trough
Built-in patient tie-downs provide attachment points for stabilization when appropriate for the patient and exam.
An integrated urine trough helps contain fluids and prevent runoff from the table, providing a practical feature for routine veterinary imaging and cleanup.
Acuity VDR Applications for Veterinary Radiography
The Acuity VDR is built for stationary veterinary radiography performed on the integrated table. Its 300 lb (136 kg) capacity, positioning movement, and patient-handling features make it particularly relevant for veterinary facilities performing routine in-clinic X-ray examinations.
Companion-Animal & In-Clinic Veterinary Radiography
The Acuity VDR can fit imaging workflows in:
-
- Companion-animal veterinary practices
- Veterinary hospitals
- Specialty and referral practices
- Mixed practices performing appropriate table-based radiography
The fixed table configuration is intended for in-clinic imaging rather than portable or field radiography.
General Diagnostic & Orthopedic Imaging
The positioning flexibility of the Acuity VDR can support common veterinary radiography applications, including:
-
- Orthopedic and musculoskeletal imaging
- Extremity studies
- Thoracic radiography
- Abdominal radiography
- Spine and skull studies
- Oblique and angled projections
General diagnostic radiography
The 4-way table and movable tube assembly allow the system to be adjusted to the projection instead of relying entirely on patient repositioning.
21-Inch Touchscreen & Auto-Advancing Exam Workflow
The Radmedix Acuity VDR is designed to keep imaging and exposure controls close to the patient. Generator integration, the mounted touchscreen, and auto-advancing exams reduce the number of separate control points the operator needs to manage during an examination.
Exposure Settings from AccuVue Vet
The X-ray generator integrates with Radmedix AccuVue Vet software, allowing X-ray parameters to be entered directly through the imaging software.
This connects technique setup more closely with the digital imaging workflow rather than requiring the operator to move between independent generator and acquisition controls.
Auto-Advancing Exams & Footswitch Exposure
Auto-advancing exams move the operator through the imaging sequence while an exposure footswitch allows exposures to be initiated without operating a separate hand control at the table.
This arrangement helps the operator remain near the patient during positioning and image acquisition.
Table-Side Touchscreen & Wall-Mounted PC
A 21 in. mounted touchscreen provides operational controls directly at the system. The Acuity VDR also includes a wall-mounted PC, with corresponding controls available through both interfaces.
This gives the operator access to the imaging workflow from the table or workstation depending on the stage of the exam.
AccuVue Vet Software & Acuity DR Integration
The Acuity VDR combines generator operation with Radmedix veterinary imaging software and compatible digital radiography technology to create an integrated acquisition workflow.
APR Technique Selection & Generator Control
APR, or Anatomical Program Radiography, supports anatomy-based X-ray technique selection. Exposure parameters can also be entered through the integrated AccuVue Vet software.
This helps connect exam selection, technique setup, exposure, and digital image acquisition within the same workflow.
G4 Acuity DR 17×17 Integration
The Radmedix G4 Acuity DR 17×17 detector can be fully integrated with the Acuity VDR. Its 17 × 17 in. (43 × 43 cm) imaging format provides a large square imaging area that reduces the need to rotate the detector between portrait and landscape orientations.
MXR also offers the Radmedix G4 Acuity DR detector family for compatible configurations.
