Thales brings the highest quality digital imaging at lower doses and in patients’ rooms

Key Points

• Thales announces new groundbreaking flat panel detectors and imaging solutions.
• All solutions showcase portable detection range and cost effective retrofit solutions.
• Thales is a leader in medical digital solutions.

Thales is riding the wave of innovation in the world of flat panel detectors and imaging solutions. With digital imaging and flat panel technology becoming ever more ubiquitous, the key global driver remains higher image quality with lower dose. Hospital operations are however evolving, and the new emerging driver is the need for complementary products that help optimise workflow management.

The Pixium RAD 4343 C-E and G-E are the new generation detectors for fixed RAD room that remains a mainstay of this segment, because of its flexibility and adaptability to any imaging solution. This new generation of flat panel detectors is cost effective, reliable and delivers very high quality images at a low dose.

However, as workflow management changes, different systems are required. As a result the Pixium Portable EZ coupled with the ArtPix Mobile EZ2GO tablet, allows technicians to take images directly in patients’ rooms and to instantly view the clinical image. This is of great benefit, as it significantly improves the workflow against legacy solutions (1).

When it comes to dynamic imaging, Thales remains the world leader in tube technology, and with the introduction of The Pixium Surgical Imaging Suite (2), the group combines detectors and imaging solutions to create a sharper image in a more compact system. This greatly enhances the surgeons’ view of the patient during a procedure.

The multipurpose Duet DRF 1.09 acquisition and post processing workstation enables an optimised imaging solution for several types of clinical examinations (3), guaranteeing the best possible image quality in real time and for optimised workflow.

«Medical imaging technology has come leaps and bounds over the past decade. The revolution brought about by our digital imaging and flat panel technology is a game changer which puts Thales in a strong position. As medical imaging departments become heavier adopters of these technologies, we will continue to outpace the competition in addressing the changing needs of the market. » Jean Jacques Guittard, CEO Thales Electron Devices.
