Agfa HealthCare, Greenville, SC, has launched the CR 12-X, a tabletop computed radiography (CR) digitizer with a modular design. With adjustable speed and a user-tuned workflow, the CR 12-X can adjust to the needs of each particular facility. The system has a single slot for 14- x 17-inch cassettes. It can be placed at most locations, and is suited for mobile applications. Users can choose to adjust speed and resolution depending on the needs of the exam. With autoprocessing capabilities in the NX software, the image identification and quality control tool, images are automatically cropped if a smaller image is captured using a larger cassette.
