UC-5000 Digital Radiography System gets FDA Clearance
The FDA-cleared UC-5000 Digital Radiography System by Source-Ray produces faster, safer, and cost-effective diagnostic images compared to traditional X-rays. Designed for urgent care facilities, it cuts radiology expenses and eliminates the need for dedicated X-ray rooms.
While exposure from radiation is unavoidable with both methods, digital X-rays produce about 80% less emission than traditional radiography. Compared to X-rays produced by a traditional machine, the quality of digital radiographs is much better. It displays viewable images in just a few seconds, saving on time for both the patients and technicians.
Aside from the difference stated above between the digital radiography and the traditional one, there are financial savings over time with digital radiography including:
No cost for radiology disposable like chemicals and films
No expense for processor maintenance, film jackets and storage space
There will be a significant reduction in the number of retakes because there should be little to no need to retake images due to under or overexposure.
