 Enhance your workflow
with DuraDiagnost Efficiency room

When increased patient volume pushes your existing

radiography resources to the limit, the DuraDiagnost
Efficiency room can help. Available with a variety of
options, the Efficiency room is capable of handling a full
range of applications including chest, abdominal, and
extremity examinations.

Every DuraDiagnost Efficiency room comes fully outfitted with two detectors,
vertical stand, X-ray tube floor stand, and table. The distinction is found in
the detector and table combinations.

Benefits of two detectors

In the High Performance setup, the fixed detector is set into the vertical
stand, while the wireless portable detector is used with the height adjustable
table. The system geometry can be easily and quickly positioned for sitting,
standing, and supine patients.

Workflow efficiency/ease-of-use
With its flexible configuration, workflow efficiency is enhanced. The use of two
detectors supports fast exams and high patient throughput. Overall ease-of-
use makes it a valuable diagnostic tool for confident decision-making.

the configuration. Its most cost-effective feature, the
SkyPlate detector, can be positioned in the table,
vertical stand, or used free of both.
