Let Philips turn your Rad Room dreams into
reality: PCR Eleva systems make your job
easier than ever, as each of the PCR Eleva
workspots can be used for the entire range
of applications.Whether you work with one
central reader or several readers, Philips
offers PCR solutions designed around you
and your needs.
Take a quantum leap forward with PCR
Eleva’s advanced workflow.All stages, in-
cluding image export to PACS or the printer,
are completely streamlined and adapt to the
way you work.This does away with unneces-
sary extra work for the technologists, leaving
them with more time for their patients.

Pleasantly simple
PCR Eleva can be connected to your RIS
updating your patient list after the patient
checks in. In the Eleva concept the informa-
tion coming from the RIS is used to automa-
tically program the right Eleva presets, such
as for processing, printing and exporting.This
ensures maximum efficiency as there is no
need to manually re-enter any information.
You can monitor automatic processing of the
image and, thanks to barcoding, the image will
always be saved to the correct patient file.
The processed image is quickly available and
image thumbnails ensure easy navigation.You
can then manipulate the images and automa-
tically export them to PACS or the printer
once the examination is complete.At the
same time, the system can automatically send
examination information back to the RIS.
Your work becomes easier
Benefit from a clear user interface – available
as a touch screen to make things even more
convenient.All functions such as automatic
rotation and shuttering are intuitive. PCR
Eleva is designed around your needs and
adapts to the way you work. Experience also
just how easy customized exporting and
virtual image hanging can be.

Configuration at a glance
• One PCR Eleva reader per room
• Share information with every reader
• Use any reader in a cluster
• Full functionality at each workspot
PCR Eleva S and PCR Eleva S Plus
For decentralized installation, you can
choose between two compact, space-
saving, one-slot readers.While PCR Eleva S
delivers up to 78 plates per hour,
PCR Eleva S Plus allows for throughput of
up to 97 plates per hour.This means that
you can use just one PCR Eleva S Plus for
two rooms.
Eleva concept
Data from the RIS is automatically inter-
preted, adjusting parameters to those
Eleva presets which meet the require-
ments of the corresponding examination.
Just another example of PCR Eleva’s time-
saving, seamless integration.
Your reader-pset-up
Direct solution, direct
functionality
Having one reader available for each
examination room will minimize
walking distances for the technologist.
It gives each room complete, direct
functionality since every reader is
combined with PCR Eleva workspots.
As a result, you can carry out any
function in every room, including exam
scheduling, image processing, quality
verification and exporting.
In addition, you can cluster your
readers so that they can be used from
any workspot in the cluster. Images will
be shown on the workspot that
initiates the examination and all other
readers can serve as alternate read-
outs or backups, giving you more flexi-
bility and security.

r-per-room
One PCR Eleva reader for each X-ray room
Take a close look at your workflow needs and you might decide that Philips’
reader-per-room set-up is the right choice for you.With one workspot placed
directly next to each reader, you can perform all functions at one place.
Customizing PCR Eleva to your department and medical facility further
simplifies procedures.

Your central reader set-up
High-end solution, high
performance
After using your central Philips multi-
slot reader, the image follows the user
and is available at the workspot where
the examination was initiated.There,
the processed image can be viewed
immediately. If you value high-speed
digitalization, PCR Eleva Corado and
PCR Eleva CosimaX with their four
slots are the right readers for you.
On top of all the Corado features, the
CosimaX provides simultaneous dual
side reading of small imaging plates,
resulting in a 50% increase in detective
quantum efficiency (DQE).Therefore
the CosimaX is ideal for low X-ray
dose pediatrics and, combined with the
50µm pixel size, also for high resolu-
tion mammography.
*For mammography or pediatrics,
facilities with lower throughput
requirements may also use
PCR Eleva S Hi-res, which offers the
same benefits with single-slot reading.
Configuration at a glance
• Central reader with multiple workspots
serves multiple rooms
• Full range of functionality at each
workspot
• Cluster with additional PCR reader
(single or multi-slot)
• Use any reader in a cluster from any
workspot
PCR Eleva Corado and
PCR Eleva CosimaX
Both readers have a throughput of up to
165 plates per hour.To carry out high
resolution mammography or low X-ray
dose pediatrics, use CosimaX* to profit
from dual side reading of small imaging
plates and a 50 % increase in detective
quantum efficiency (DQE).
Unique possibilities with UNIQUE
PCR Eleva comes with UNIQUE advanced
processing software.With UNIQUE, you
can expect consistently high resolution
image quality right from the start with all
diagnostic information in a single image.
