Field of use


Max-X DR C-arm MF is a state-of-art high-end mobile C-arm family primarily designed for surgical and cardiovascular imaging. The large-sized C-arm with motorized elevation assures easy positioning, while the high resolution large image area dynamic flat panel detector provides cristal clear images with very low patient dosage. The live and reference images are displayed on the high-contrast radiology monitors mounted on separate monitor trolley.  Wide range of selectable image processing software tools help the visualization and right diagnose. The system is connected to the PACS as a standard DICOM modality.

Thanks to the wide range of selectable options the Max-X DR C-arm MF family can support all customer demands from basic surgical application with 10kW generator power and 23x23 cm a-Si detector, up to the high-end cardiovascular version powered by 25kW generator, 30x30cm CMOS detector, dual-cooling X-ray tube and premium-quality DSA software package.

 

System components


Mobile mechanism with C-arm

The mechanical basis of the Max-X DR C-arm MF family is a well-maneuvrable but robust mobil structure, with a large sized and well-balanced C-arm mounted on it. The vertical movement of the C-arm is motorised, the other movements are manual. Thanks to the ergonomic design and optimal construction of the C-arm it can be set easily even in the most complicated positions.

Image chain with the X-ray tube and flat panel detector

For high loading capacity the X-ray in the Max-X DR C-arm MF system is generated by a high-capacity, high-speed, fine focal spot X-ray tube. The 0.3mm focal spot size guarantees sharp X-ray images, while the high speed anode rotation combined with the dual cooling technology can provide even non-stop operation. The high resolution, large image area CMOS dynamic flat panel detector provides cristal clear radiography and fluoroscopy images with wery low patient dosage. Laser light localizer helps accurate positioning on both tube and detector sides.

Built-in high frequency X-ray generator

In the Max-X DR C-arm MF system X-ray tube is powered by a separated (not mono-block), microprocessor controlled, 25kW high frequency X-ray generator. The separated tube and high voltage tank structure ensures high load capacity with excellent cooling parameters. The generator control is integrated to the touch-screen control panel of the imaging system. Optimal image quality is guaranteed by the built-in ABS and AEC dose control. The supervisor program monitors the system status and any operator intervention all the time - thus effectively preventing any setting or events that could cause damage or overload to any component of the system.

Separate monitor trolley

During operation the live and reference images are displayed on the high-contrast radiology monitors mounted on separate monitor trolley. They can display the most relevant information along with the actual X-ray images.  The heights and tilt angle of the monitors are adjustable by motors.

System control and image processing

The Max-X DR C-arm MF system is controlled from an integrated touch screen console located on the mobile unit. All functions and information are accessible here: worklist handling, patient administration, study selection, generator control. It can display the actual live and recorded X-ray images along with all relevant other information. Wide range of selectable image processing software tools help the visualization and right diagnose (recursive filter, edge enhancement, surgery-, angiography- and DSA tools). The system is connected to the hospital PACS as a standard DICOM modality.
