In February, Vieworks received FDA clearance for its VIVIX-S 1417N, its 14-inch-by-17-inch flat panel detector for general radiography

Joseph Choi, strategic marketing team leader for Vieworks, says that Anytime, Vieworks' automatic exposure detection (AED) feature, which takes away the need for a cabled connection between the X-ray system and a generator, helps set the detector apart from the company’s competitors.

“Anytime is well recognized for superior AED performance in the industry as high reliability and high sensitivity without compromising [image] quality compared to [a] DR line trigger,” Choi says.

Anytime uses a separate AED trigger sensor, and the VIVIX-S 1417N does not create artificial defects as the whole of the flat panel detects X-ray signal to create images, Choi says. Anytime is also highly sensitive to the X-ray dose, sensing doses as low as 10 nanogray, still providing high-quality images.

The VIVIX-S 1417N is the first Vieworks detector to use Near Field Communication (NFC), which allows for quick and easy configuration, so clinicians don’t have to struggle with complicated settings when they use it in multiple X-ray rooms, Choi says. Clinicians can also swap batteries without turning off the detector.

The VIVIX-S 1417N is also dust and water resistant, has enhanced durability with low maintenance costs and offers faster wireless communication, allowing for quicker throughput for mid- and high-tier hospitals. It can also be used as a CR to DR retrofit.
