In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, delivering quick, reliable, and high-quality diagnostic imaging at the patient’s bedside has never been more essential. DURAMI™, the latest mobile digital radiography system from Agfa Radiology Solutions, is designed to meet this challenge by combining mobility, performance, and affordability in a compact imaging solution that can operate anywhere care is needed, including ICUs, emergency departments, pediatric wards, and more.
What sets DURAMI apart from traditional mobile X-ray systems is its ability to bring high-quality digital X-ray imaging directly to the patient, eliminating the need for patient transport to fixed imaging rooms. This efficiency not only enhances patient comfort and safety but also streamlines clinical workflows, leading to faster diagnosis and potentially better outcomes for healthcare providers and patients alike.
Designed for Clinical Environments
DURAMI’s compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for navigating crowded hospital corridors, tight bedside spaces, and critical care zones where traditional X-ray units may not fit or operate efficiently. Its wireless architecture minimizes cable clutter and reduces infection control concerns, improving operational safety and flexibility.
At the heart of DURAMI’s imaging capability is the integration of advanced technologies such as MUSICA™ image processing software, a well-established Agfa innovation known for delivering exceptional image quality through intelligent optimization of contrast, noise suppression, and brightness. MUSICA supports clinicians in detecting subtle clinical details clearly and confidently, even in challenging diagnostic scenarios.
Another important feature is the optional SmartRotate™ module, which significantly improves workflow efficiency by reducing manual post-processing steps. SmartRotate automatically adjusts image orientation right after acquisition, saving clinicians valuable time and enabling faster delivery of imaging results. A Frost & Sullivan white paper highlights that SmartRotate has led to up to 91% fewer image rotations in real clinical settings with Agfa DR systems.
Safety, Integration, and Dose Efficiency
Patient safety remains a key focus in modern radiography. DURAMI delivers a remarkable dose reduction potential without compromising diagnostic image quality, a crucial benefit in pediatric imaging or repeat examinations. Agfa’s Duraline Cesium Iodide detectors, which are compatible with DURAMI, offer robust reliability and can help reduce radiation exposure when paired with advanced image processing.
Seamless connectivity with existing healthcare IT systems, including PACS, HIS/RIS, and other imaging software, ensures smooth integration within clinical environments, allowing medical teams to pull up images instantly across platforms and make informed decisions quickly.
A Complete Bedside Imaging Solution
More than just a mobile X-ray machine, DURAMI represents a complete bedside imaging solution that supports the evolving demands of modern healthcare. By combining performance, flexibility, image quality, and workflow-boosting features, it enables healthcare providers to modernize their radiography services while improving efficiencies and patient care outcomes.
Whether in emergency rooms, intensive care units, or busy hospital wards, DURAMI is redefining how clinicians approach mobile X-ray imaging, making advanced diagnostics more accessible and responsive to the realities of today’s clinical workflows.
