Philips announced the 100th shipment of MobileDiagnost wDR, a mobile digital radiography (DR) solution with a wireless portable detector that facilitates diagnosis of immobile and critical care patients. MobileDiagnost wDR is a flexible solution that improves workflow and the efficiency of patient exams through an user interface and fast access to high quality digital images.
Built on Philips’ wireless portable detector, Eleva user interface, and UNIQUE imaging processing software, the MobileDiagnost wDR helps to accelerate clinician workflow by quickly delivering digital X-ray images. The mobility of MobileDiagnost wDR also improves patient care by avoiding stressful transports to a traditional DR room while delivering good image quality.
It has been commercially available globally since mid-2011, and the 100th shipment of MobileDiagnost wDR is an indication that hospitals are embracing of Philips’ mobile DR technology. “Achieving 100 shipments of MobileDiagnost wDR has been rewarding because it is a new product that thoroughly addresses the needs of busy hospitals. It makes it easier for clinicians to provide timely care to critical patients, and helps enhance patient comfort without sacrificing image quality,” said Ronald Tabaksblat, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Philips Diagnostic X-ray, for Philips.
