High Image Quality

To achieve the high quality of DR and good operability of CR, Konica Minolta's answer is AeroDR.

　Superior Direct Contact technologyMost digital detectors incorporate a protective layer between the CsI (Cesium Iodide) scintillator and the photodiodes of the TFT (Thin Film Transistor) sensor panel. This causes light to disperse, resulting in a loss of image quality. Konica Minolta’s unique Direct Contact technology minimises light dispersal thus ensuring optimum image sharpness.

　High DQE, lower doseOur unique Direct Contact technology, combined with the latest low noise readout integrated circuitry, delivers an excellent DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency). This makes the AeroDR effective in reducing exposure dose.

Not only that, but the AeroDR delivers exceptional dynamic range perfor-mance. Enabling accurate skin line definition, for example, in the radiogra-phy of shoulder joints.

　Works with your existing equipmentThe AeroDR detector is the same size as an ISO 4090 compliant film cassette, so it will fit any existing wall-stand or table bucky tray.

Gets around

　Can be used anywhereKonica Minolta’s shared FPD (Flat Panel Detector) solution means that one AeroDR panel can be used across multiple X-ray rooms and mobile X-ray units that are equipped with their own CS-7 console.

　Multifunctional console CS-7Our CS-7 work station doesn’t just control the AeroDR detectors. It also operates all current Konica Minolta CR readers and even X-ray generators*. So there’s no need to use the X-ray console to adjust exposure parameters.

More control

　2 second preview via smart GUI displayIn less than 2 seconds after exposure, a preview image pops up on the console display. That’s fast! What’s more, our user-friendly graphical interface is configurable, enabling you to set it up exactly how you like it.

Easy workflow. Reliable technology.

　Long operating time, recharges quickerApart from a long life expectancy, our new generation battery technology has a long operating time of approximately 200 images per 5.5 hours. Recharging is impressively quick, from empty to full in only 30 minutes. And in an emergency, the battery can regain enough charge to process at least 10 images in just 3 minutes.

* Please contact your Konica Minolta sales representative for more detailsregarding connections between X-ray generators and CS-7.

　Power-saving, patient safety technologyTo improve patient safety, Konica Minolta have sourced the world’s newest battery technology for the AeroDR panel. Our unique low power consuming panel design combined with a lithium ion capacitor ensures long battery life and quick recharging. Lithium ion capacitors don’t overheat unlike conven-tional lithium ion batteries.

　The battery lasts as long as the panelConventional batteries need to be changed after about a year. Our new lithium ion capacitors last as long as the panel. Which means there is no need for exchanging the battery. Which in turn allows us to make the panel case lighter and stronger.

　World’s lightest flat panel detector

At 2.9 kg, AeroDR is simply the lightest of its type in the world. This, combined with its wireless capability, makes it uniquely portable and flexible, giving technologists considerably more freedom in how they choose to work.

　Incredibly strong monocoque construction

Since the battery doesn’t need to be replaced, the case never needs to be opened. As a result, we’ve been able to build it from tough carbon fibre using a rigid monocoque design. Ensuring trouble-free operation even when subjected to substantial load or shock. Astonishingly, the load bearing performance of AeroDR is the same as that of our CR cassettes.

　Sealed and protected scintillator

Konica Minolta produces its own CsI scintillator and have created a more efficient design. This double glass design provides a three-fold benefit: it enhances the load-bearing performance, it prevents the scintillator edge from being deformed by everyday knocks and bumps, and it protects the TFT sensor panel from breakage.
