As the demand for high-efficiency medical imaging grows across healthcare systems, radiology departments need solutions that combine precision, automation, and adaptability. Agfa has long been a trusted name in digital radiography, and its trio of imaging systems—the Agfa DR 400, Agfa DR 600, and Agfa DR 800—offers a scalable path to excellence for hospitals and diagnostic centers of all sizes. Each of these systems is engineered to meet different clinical requirements, from routine imaging to complex fluoroscopy, without compromising on image quality or workflow speed.
Agfa DR 400: A Cost-Effective Step into Digital Radiography
The Agfa DR 400 is a floor-mounted digital radiography solution ideal for healthcare providers looking to transition from analog or CR-based systems to a more efficient digital workflow. This system delivers high-quality imaging without the need for major infrastructure changes, making it a smart investment for small to mid-sized hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centers.
It supports ceiling-free installation and is available in multiple configurations, allowing facilities to scale the system based on their needs and budget. With the flexibility to integrate a fixed or portable detector, the DR 400 ensures seamless imaging for routine examinations like chest, extremity, or spine studies.
The system is paired with Agfa’s MUSICA image processing software, which automatically enhances images for consistent, high-contrast results. The result is fast, high-quality imaging with minimal user intervention—ideal for busy environments that demand reliability and simplicity.
Agfa DR 600: High-Volume Imaging with Automation
For facilities managing a high patient volume or requiring more automation, the Agfa DR 600 offers a ceiling-suspended, fully motorized radiography system with a strong emphasis on speed and ease of use. It is designed to enhance patient throughput while maintaining superior image quality.
The DR 600 includes features like auto-positioning, auto-tracking, and motorized movement of the tube head and detectors. These enhancements reduce examination time and radiographer fatigue, while ensuring consistent and reproducible image acquisition. The ZeroForce technology allows for light manual movement when needed, improving operator control and precision.
Its fully automated table and wall stand work in unison, and when combined with a detector that can be shared with other DR rooms or mobile units, the system becomes a versatile hub in any radiology department.
As with the DR 400, the DR 600 is driven by MUSICA image processing and SmartXR AI tools, helping radiographers improve positioning and exposure control with minimal effort.
Agfa DR 800: Multi-Purpose System for Radiography and Fluoroscopy
The Agfa DR 800 stands apart as a dynamic, multi-purpose imaging system that combines general radiography, fluoroscopy, and advanced clinical applications in a single solution. It is particularly suited for hospitals that need to perform both static and dynamic imaging from one platform.
What makes the DR 800 unique is its ability to perform real-time fluoroscopic imaging while maintaining the same high-resolution still imaging performance expected from a top-tier DR system. This flexibility makes it ideal for gastrointestinal studies, musculoskeletal exams, and even image-guided procedures.
The system features a single detector solution for all applications, reducing the need for repositioning or multiple imaging systems. The ergonomic design, along with MUSICA and LiveVision technologies, supports patient comfort and clinical confidence at every step.
