The
Definium 8000 from GE Healthcare is a digital radiography system that helps physicians
clearly see injuries and abnormalities while confidently prescribing the
best treatment. Digital x-rays are captured on the computer rather than
on film, allowing physicians to enhance areas of interest and assist in
better diagnostics.
This cutting-edge digital x-ray system allows us to take imaging to a new
level of diagnostic power. Digital imaging technology includes new tools
that help doctors save time and see detail inside the body more clearly.
One such tool is Auto Image Paste, which lets doctors take clear, seamless
images of long bones, such as the legs and the spine.
For the patient, this technology provides a faster, more comfortable procedure
that only takes seconds and does so without long exposure to radiation.
