Create great images with FlashPad™ HD detectors†

Available in three sizes, our dose-efficient, high DQE detectors enable visualization of extraordinary anatomical detail.

Enhance great images with AI-driven software

Coupled with FlashPad™ HD, Helix™ 2.2 Advanced Image Processing improves small detail detectability by up to 40%¹ and delivers improved image consistency, despite variations in exposure technique and challenging exam conditions.

Heighten workflow efficiency

Upgrade customers† will get a new acquisition workstation that’s designed for workflow efficiency.

Out-of-room precision

A live streaming camera on the X-ray tube head provides live video of the patient imaging area onto the acquisition workstation. You can monitor the patient status, movement and orientation before an X-ray is taken.

Intelligent Workflow Suite‡

Enabled by the live streaming camera, the Intelligent Workflow Suite combines computer vision, video analytics, and precision engineering to deliver a solution for common errors.

Cybersecurity

Due to increased risk of cyber attacks, malware, and security vulnerabilities, your upgrade package includes our latest security software, offering multiple levels of protection.

All ABOUT EASY

Ready, set, go! We’ve taken steps to ensure your upgraded system will be up and running quickly.

• Existing protocols and Image Processing (IP) looks are compatible and can be easily imported once the upgrade is complete.
• Intelligent calibration reduces calibration time from 70 minutes to 18 minutes.
• Quality assurance procedures reduced from every 7 days to every 30 days.

Tackle complicated cases with updated, advanced applications

If your current system has advanced applications, your upgrade will include available updates. Advanced applications are also available for purchase.

VolumeRAD™ Digital Tomosynthesis‡

Takes multiple images in a single sweep to create a set of tomographic images. The latest version includes a big increase in workflow speed. Also available with Metal Artifact Reduction‡, which provides quality multi-level image slices even with metal implants.
