Q1. What is the main difference between DR and CR (Computed Radiography)?
DR systems like the DigitalDiagnost C90 use digital flat-panel detectors that produce instant images, unlike CR, which requires cassettes and image plates — offering faster workflow and lower radiation dose.

Q2. Can this system be integrated with existing hospital PACS and RIS systems?
Yes. It supports DICOM 3.0, HL7, and can be seamlessly connected to existing hospital information systems (HIS/RIS/PACS).

Q3. How long does it take to capture and view an image?
Images appear within 2–3 seconds after exposure, improving throughput and reducing retakes.

Q4. What are the dose control features?
The system uses AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) and UNIQUE 2 image optimization, reducing radiation dose while maintaining diagnostic quality.

Q5. Is it suitable for trauma or emergency departments?
Yes. The ceiling-mounted tube and wireless detectors allow fast positioning for trauma and immobile patients.

Q6. How many images can the detector store?
Each detector can store over 200 images internally, with instant transfer to PACS once connected.

Q7. What maintenance does the system require?
Routine calibration every 6–12 months, software updates, and detector cleaning with approved wipes.

Q8. Can the system perform long-bone or scoliosis imaging?
Yes. The system supports auto-stitching for full-spine and long-leg radiography, with software alignment correction.
