(RSNA, South Hall, Booth #3300) At RSNA 2018, radiology professionals will discover intelligent radiography powered by MUSICA, at Agfa's booth. In addition to a complete range of direct radiography (DR) solutions, visitors can discover how Agfa is developing smart tools to improve staff and patients' experiences beginning with image acquisition MUSICA processing delivers exquisite details throughout the image, optimizes workflow and allows facilities to lower patient dose providing customers all the benefits of DR.

Smart tools to increase efficiency

At RSNA 2018, Agfa will show how it is developing smart tools to improve the imaging experience of patients and staff, by integrating intelligence - not just automation - into the solutions themselves:

Pre-acquisition: personalized dose settings, intelligent collimation control;
During acquisition: intelligent automated exposure control;
Post-acquisition: automated image rotation, automated positioning and alert triggering.

MUSICA self-adaptive image processing technology

The gold standard MUSICA image processing brings intelligence to the entire DR imaging process, before and after exposure, for "first time right" imaging. MUSICA3+ offers improved performance for difficult imaging requirements, while Dynamic MUSICA processes both general radiography and fluoroscopy images with the same, proven high image quality and efficient workflow.

A recent study carried out by the University Hospital of Munich, investigating the simplification of exposure techniques, found that Agfa is the first company on the market that fully exploits the benefits of DR technology, thanks to MUSICA's self-adaptive image processing technology.

Digital imaging for today's healthcare needs

To fulfill its goal of enabling every hospital and imaging environment to achieve the benefits of DR, Agfa offers a comprehensive range of radiography solutions. Each comes with MUSICA image processing and a choice of fixed, wireless and tethered detectors with Cesium Iodide (CsI) or Gadolinium Oxy-Sulphide (GOS) technology. CsI also offers the potential for dose reduction[1].

At the Agfa booth, visitors can discover:

Genrad/Fluoroscopy DR:
Much more than an X-ray room, the DR 800 is an intelligent, dynamic imaging solution designed to enable radiology to meet the growing demand for fluoroscopy, without requiring multiple investments. The flexible, multi-purpose system supports enhanced image quality, productivity and workflow efficiency for the busy imaging environment.
