Technix TMB 320 DR

Bedside hospital radiography is the TMB 320 DR's field, for patients who stay in bed and for teams that want a finished digital image before moving on. Presets for each body part and patient size shape the acquisition, so the first image displayed is the one the examination needs.

In intensive care, the unit drives up to the bed, locks its arm once placed, and releases the exposure via an infrared remote from behind leaded glass. The image is on the Panel PC screen moments later.

On inpatient wards and in multi-bed rooms, its 57.6 cm chassis and swivelling column fit the space between beds, and each study can reach the diagnostic workstation over DICOM straight from the bedside.

In the emergency department, the battery drive overcomes obstacles, steps, and inclines on the way to the trolley, and the anatomical preset for the injured region is selected at the bed.

Orthopaedics, the plaster room and sports medicine call up the preset for the limb in question when taking check images, and post-processing works the image to suit each examination.

Paediatrics and neonatology rely on patient-size settings and the copper and aluminium filters in the collimator, which make the unit usable for children.

In theatre, the tube head swings ±180°, and the surgical team stays put while the exposure is controlled remotely. Images can then be saved to DVD and archived.

Radiology departments use the TMB 320 DR as the digital mobile unit for all these areas, with one battery charge rated to cover a full day.

Settings Chosen by Body Part and Patient Size

Two selections set acquisition, processing and display together, so the operator starts each examination from parameters matched to the patient.

A Correct Image on First Display

The image appears at once and is already correct, which spares later enhancement work and keeps the examination moving.

Post-Processing for the Diagnostic Question

Post-processing functions let the image be worked further when an examination calls for it.

Two Routes Out: DICOM and DVD

Images travel over DICOM to a diagnostic workstation or general archive, and the DVD recorder writes a copy to disc.

An Open Choice of Detector

Departments can pick the flat panel detector that suits them, because the system interfaces with more than one.

Battery Power Through the List

The rated whole-day charge carries the unit through its list, and the batteries recharge fast once it ends.

Height and Angle at the Bed

With 569 to 2069 mm of vertical excursion and ±180° of tube head rotation, the beam can be set for a low trolley or a raised bed.

Paediatric Settings and Filtration

Patient-size settings and the collimator's copper and aluminium filters make the unit suitable for children.

Remote Release at 10 m

The infrared remote works through glass and leaded glass, so the operator can stand back during the exposure.

32 kW Monobloc Generator

A single monobloc housing combines the 32 kW generator and the X-ray tube.

Solid-State Flat Panel Detector

A solid-state flat panel detector turns each exposure into a digital radiograph.

19-Inch Touchscreen Panel PC

Images are displayed and processed on a 19-inch high-resolution touchscreen Panel PC.

Anatomical and Patient-Size Presets

Acquisition, processing, and display parameters follow the selected body part and patient size for each examination.

Post-Processing Functions

The post-processing tools let the operator work on each image in line with the diagnostic examination.

Memory and DVD Recorder

The system stores every acquired image in its mass memory, and a built-in DVD recorder writes studies to disc.

DICOM Output

A DICOM connection sends images to a diagnostic workstation or a general archive.

Multiple Detector Interfacing

Detector integration extends to more than one flat panel model.

Battery Operation

High-capacity, fast-charging batteries power the drive and generator, with a full day of use per charge.

Motor Drive and Dead-Man Brake

The operator sets the speed at the handle, and the brake engages as soon as the handle is released. The drive takes obstacles, steps and inclines.

Telescopic Arm on a Swivelling Column

The tube arm telescopes and the column swivels, with the column offered in fixed or telescopic form.

Vertical Excursion and Tube Head Rotation

Vertical travel spans 569 to 2069 mm, with an additional ±180° rotation at the tube head.

Millimetre Positioning

Motor-assisted controls at the tube head move the whole unit in millimetre steps, and a second set sits at the patient's bed.

Electric and Mechanical Arm Locks

The arm can be locked electrically and mechanically at the chosen position.

Collimator Filters and Laser Line

Copper and aluminium filtration covers paediatric work. Two laser lines indicate the reference focal distance to the operator.

Exposure Controls and Safety Key

A handswitch and an infrared remote, effective to 10 m in all directions and through leaded glass, release exposures. The unit is fitted with a safety key.

Protection and Cable Management

The unit includes an anti-collision bumper, a motor release system for malfunction or motor/battery failure, and a cable reel.

The TMB 320 DR suits radiology departments that bring digital radiography to the bedside and want each image right when it first appears. The presets make its case. Body part and patient-size settings cover acquisition, processing, and display, so the radiographer reviews an image that is right on arrival and moves on to the next patient. Intensive care, inpatient wards and the emergency department are its natural settings, since every examination there happens away from the radiology department. Teams imaging children gain patient-size settings alongside the collimator's paediatric filtration. Every image comes from a solid-state flat panel detector exposed by its 32 kW monobloc.
