Faster workow and easier collimation

DigitalDiagnost C90 integrates a touchscreen and an
optional live camera into the Eleva Tube Head for extended
Eleva control, right in the exam room. The live camera helps
with patient positioning by providing a clear view of the
collimation area which can help alleviate potential imprecise
collimation such as with bariatric patients. Better positioning
can also help eliminate time consuming retakes that add
unnecessary X-ray dose.

Utilizing the DigitalDiagnost C90 allows
you to see 15 more patients per day.

If you prefer a grid-less workow, the optional SkyFlow Plus
assists by producing images with grid-like contrast for all
anatomies. There’s no need to attach and detach a grid, so
detector/patient positioning is fast and easy. Without a grid,
retakes due to grid misalignment are a thing of the past.
SkyFlow Plus helps you work more eciently by rapidly
acquiring high-quality images, while eectively managing
scatter radiation.

Utilizing the DigitalDiagnost C90 allows
you to avoid around 28 retakes per week.

Since 67,5 %4 of retakes in radiography result from wrong
patient positioning, this problem is addressed by the
optional Eleva Tube Head Live Camera.
The Live Camera allows the user to check on correct
positioning prior to image acquisition also at the working
console by means of live camera images.

94 % of the users think that the live
camera images at the work station helps
to avoid retakes.

Faster setup time

• Live images of the collimated anatomy assist sta in initial
patient positioning (optional)

• Detect patient movement and incorrect collimation early
with a view of the collimated area at the Eleva Tube Head
and Eleva workspot (optional)

• Double check all relevant system parameters, images, and
order of views at the tube head as well as at the Eleva
workspot

75 % of the users consider the Eleva Tube
Head as helpful spending more time with
the patient.

need to expose the patient to additional X-ray dose. As part
of Philips’ Eleva platform, Bone Suppression is integrated
into the regular system workow. Depending on the protocol
it provides automatically processed images without the need
to send them separately to PACS.
