With the further development of dynamic digital radiography, the dynamic DR (digital X-ray machine) relies on the visualization of high-speed high-definition spot film function, which has changed the traditional blind shot mode and greatly improved the detection rate of lesions in clinical practice. In order to improve the level of treatment and provide safer, more accurate and convenient radiological treatment services, Jing'an County People's Hospital introduced the PLX8500D digital medical radiography system (referred to as dynamic DR), which has been officially put into use after intense installation and commissioning.

PLX8500D Digital Medical Radiography System

Dynamic DR (digital X-ray machine) of conventional photography

1. Head and neck

Indications: Paranasal sinus inflammation, foreign bodies in the oesophagus, etc.

2. Spine, limb bones and joints

Indications: Bone age examination, congenital developmental abnormalities, bone ischaemic necrosis; osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, bone tumours, bone and joint trauma, bone and joint tuberculosis, bone and joint inflammatory lesions, soft tissue lesions and other diseases.

3. Chest

Indications: tracheobronchial disease (bronchial stones and foreign bodies, etc.); lung pathology (congenital abnormalities, inflammation, tuberculosis, tumours, etc.); mediastinal pathology (emphysema, haematoma, tumours and cysts, etc.).

4. Abdomen

Indications: perforation of the digestive tract, intestinal obstruction, various positive stones and contrast spot films, etc.

Dynamic applications of dynamic DR (digital X-ray machine)

1. Oesophagogram

Indications: It is mainly used for the examination of oesophageal tumour, foreign body, food perforation and congenital anomalies, such as the site and extent of oesophageal lesion tumour, the presence of oesophageal varices in patients with portal hypertension, oesophageal hiatal hernia, mediastinal tumour, compression of oesophagus by cardiovascular diseases, etc. Barium double contrast imaging can clearly show the mucosal structure of the oesophagus.

2. Hysterosalpingography (tubalography)

Indications: Hysterosalpingography is a method of examining the uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes by injecting contrast into the uterine cavity through a catheter to visualize the cavity and the fallopian tubes, and to find out whether the tubes are patent, the site of obstruction and the morphology of the uterine cavity according to the visualization and diffusion of the contrast in the fallopian tubes and pelvis.

Advantages of Dynamic DR (Digital X-ray)

1. Digital fluoroscopy

It is suitable for fluoroscopy of all parts of the body, such as occult rib fractures, chest X-ray, and supports extremely fast switching of 9 megapixel spot films.

2. Whole body stitching

For orthopaedic joint replacement, spinal orthopaedic surgery, etc., providing whole lower limb or whole spine stitching images, facilitating preoperative planning and postoperative outcome assessment.

3. Paediatric negative foreign body examination

At present, conventional DR and CT are difficult to detect. Dynamic DR can avoid misdiagnosis of pneumonia by observing changes in lung images based on dynamic observation of the complete respiratory cycle.

4．Pediatric pre-positioned filming

In conventional photography, pathological signs are often missed due to overlapping images or body position, but in dynamic photography, it is easier to detect these lesions, thus improving the efficiency and diagnostic rate.

The PLX8500D digital medical radiography system (dynamic DR) has both dynamic and static image acquisition methods. 17*17 large dynamic plate, 900W high-definition pixels, can more effectively cover the examination area, reduce the examination time and exposure, so as to ensure the efficiency of image examination, effectively avoid waste film, missed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, second shot, multiple repeated exposure and other undesirable situations. The digital X-ray machine is equipped with an extra wide screen. This digital X-ray machine adopts an ultra-wide 34-inch LCD monitor, freeing up the bundle of dual screens and dual workstations to display the acquired images and playback images side by side, making the clinical image effect comparison more intuitive and the operation more convenient and quick.

The use of the new equipment of dynamic DR of Perlove Medical will bring the inspection technology and disease diagnosis rate to a new level, which can perform photography, fluoroscopy and all kinds of imaging examination on the human head, chest, abdomen, lumbar spine and limbs in the prone position, ortho position, lateral position and oblique position to meet various clinical needs, thus comprehensively enhancing the service capability and level of Jing'an County People's Hospital and better serving the patients.
