EMI AMERICA MIAMI announced the successful installation of first DIRA Direct Digital X Ray Detector at Clinica del Occidente in Bogota-Colombia.
DIRA detectors easily convert any old X Ray machine to a modern Digital X Ray System at low costs, eliminating the Film, the Cassettes and improving the efficiency at all. The detectors are built in Russia and Germany with a new CCD technology, but without mirrors nor cooling systems producing a better image quality and maintenance free. They are integrated with a Mini-PACS which can store, transmit, print and download the images to CD/DVD all in DICOM format.
"We were very busy doing 100 patients in the morning with a multiload cassette CR but with the new DR we are doing more than 200 patients in the same period and still have time to have a Colombian coffee break", says Anderson Ruiloba, chief of the radiology department.
"DIRA detectors resolution is second to none" says Arwind Singh, director of RAYMAX MEDICAL Inc, important X Ray manufacturer in Toronto-Canada. "In fact during the installation in Colombia we measured the DIRA resolution with a phantom and got 6.0 line pairs/mm. We did the same measurement with the same X Ray equipment and with the CR system and got 2.8 lp/mm" said Rodolfo Gutierrez president of EMI AMERICA MIAMI.
This technology with no moving parts and maintenance free ensures the highest equipment reliability and enables any distant town in the Andeans mountains or in the Amazons jungle to obtain the best quality images in a few seconds.
EMI AMERICA MIAMI is preparing a Portable System consisting of a DIRA detector and a Portable Min X Ray machine which can be taken to any small community to take the X ray examinations and transmit the images over the internet to be analyzed by a radiologist in any diagnostic center in the world.
Anna Belova, international DIRA executive is committed to help improve the health care system in developing countries. "Our resolution is so good that we are rapidly reaching the point to produce a high quality Digital Mammography at low cost".
