MORTSEL, Belgium, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ —

• Dura-line™ XF⁺ detectors combine glass-free technology with high image quality at ultra-high resolution of 99-micron pixel pitch
• With drop resistance and protection against water and dust ingress, they withstand the toughest conditions
• The Dura-line™ family includes the XD+ range, with high image quality, and the economical XD range, delivering reliable image quality

Agfa is expanding its Dura-line™ family of robust, reliable and cost-effective wireless Digital Radiography (DR) flat panel detectors, with the glass-free and high-resolution Dura-line™ XF⁺ range, which comes in three sizes. At RSNA 2024, Agfa will demonstrate how the XF⁺ 10, XF⁺ 14, XF⁺ 17 detectors deliver exquisite image quality, low weight and high durability.

Next-level durability and precision for enhanced imaging performance
“The Dura-line™ family underscores our ongoing commitment to providing powerful and affordable solutions that benefit hospitals of all sizes and budgets. The XF⁺ range takes this to the next level, with an innovative glass-free substrate in the thin-film transistor (TFT) design that offers exceptional durability and lowest weight. Combined with the ultra-high resolution of 99-micron pixel pitch, it helps ensure that, with Agfa technologies, ‘One image is all it takes’™,” says Christine Uytterhoeven, Global Product Manager, Digital Radiography, Agfa Radiology Solutions.

Superior durability and ergonomic workflow

Dura-line™ Cesium Iodide detectors offer robust reliability, cost-effectiveness, the potential for significant patient dose reduction[1] and outstanding 15-hour battery autonomy. The panels can be shared between different modalities, thanks to the Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology.

The Dura-line™ XF⁺ range is built to withstand the toughest conditions and busiest hospital environments, drops from heights of up to 1.5 meters, as well as water and dust ingress protection. Designed to enhance workflow and operator comfort, the lightweight construction further improves operator ergonomics.

Intelligent technologies for image processing and workflow optimization
The ultra-high resolution and high detector quantum efficiency (DQE) of Dura-line™ XF⁺ detectors, combined with Agfa’s MUSICA® image processing, ensure excellent contrast and consistent image quality across various exams.
XF⁺ is supporting semi-dynamic mode for tomosynthesis.
The SmartXR® portfolio adds X-ray intelligence to predictive workflow assistance, for improved productivity and consistent outcomes.
