Configuration
DX-D 300 is a DR X-ray system (Direct Radiography X-ray system) that can be
combined with components from a CR X-ray system.
The complete DX-D 300 consists of the following components:
• Vertical column with U-arm
• X-Ray tube with automatic collimator with DAP (dose area product meter)
• Integrated 4343R DR Detector or DR Detector Bucky
• Portable DR Detector
• Mobile table
• X-Ray generator
• NX workstation
The use of the DR Detector bucky is restricted to DR Detectors with a size
equivalent to 14x17 inch (43x35 cm) and 43x35 CR Cassettes.
The DX-D 300 configuration with integrated DR Detector automatically
detects the grid status. The DX-D 300 configuration with DR Detector Bucky
does not detect the grid status.
DX-D 300 can be used in combination with:
• CR digitizer
DX-D 300 supports the Full Leg Full Spine application with integrated 4343R
DR Detector or with a DR Detector with a size equivalent to 14x17 inch (43x35
cm) in the DR bucky.
