Introduction to the DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System

The DRX-Revolution System Mobile X-ray system is designed specifically for
Digital Radiography (DR) with the CARESTREAM DRX-1 System detector, or
with other wireless flat-panel detectors. The DRX-Revolution incorporates the
tools required for acquiring medical diagnostic images outside of a standard
X-ray room.
The DRX-Revolution is an all inclusive mobile X-ray system, providing:
• A high power 32 kW generator
• State-of-the-art drive system for movement and maneuverability
• User-friendly X-ray tube positioning in five axes of motion
• The industry's first telescoping column for better visibility while driving
• Storage for detectors and supplies
• Carestream's proven user interface and image processing tools
The compact size of the DRX-Revolution allows patient treatment in many
areas of a hospital including the operating room, emergency department, and
intensive care units. It moves on many kinds of surfaces and can fit in
elevators and maneuver in close proximity to a patient from many angles. Its
collapsible column allows visibility while it is being driven down busy hospital
corridors. The cart moves so a technologist can walk behind it, steering and
controlling its speed while traveling from one location to another. Software is
accessed from a primary monitor on the cart and a secondary monitor on the
tube head.
The DRX-Revolution allows radiographic exams of patients who cannot be
transported to an X-ray room. The tube head assembly can be moved in any
direction: horizontal, vertical, tilted, angulated, and rotated. It has storage
space for equipment and supplies. An optional barcode scanner provides
quick identification of patient wristbands, forms, and orders. All of these
hardware features and options are described in this guide.
