Intended Use
The DR 18M and DR 24M are flat panel digital X-ray detectors designed for
use in digital X-ray imaging of woman breast diagnosis (Mammography).
They upgrade an analog or CR mammography unit into a digital unit to
capture projection radiographic images in digital format within seconds,
eliminating the need for an X-ray film or an image plate as an image capture
medium.
The DR 18M and DR 24M is intended for mammography application only. The
DR detectors are designed to be equivalent in size to a conventional film and
CR image plate. The DR 18M is the appropriate size for a small bucky of any
mammography unit and the DR 24M is the appropriate size for a large bucky
of any mammography unit.
