Optima
URS is a universal swivel arm X-ray system. It is easy to operate and
permits a swift radiographic procedure, a feature which applies to all
conventional exposure techniques on all parts of the body.
The system is composed of a
floor-to-wall column and a turnable arm with variable heigh centre. It
allows to take exposures of patients in standing, sitting or laying
position.
Owing to its compact design Optima URS
is a low-cost radiography system which takes up little space and is quick
to install.
Exposures of patient in the seated position
During all movements of the swivel
arm, and when the Bucky unit is tilted, the radiation beam axis always
reamins aimed at the centre of the film. This simplifies making
adjustments and speed up positioning. During exposure the patient
adopts a comfortable, relaxed posture.
Exposures of patient in the standing position
Owing to the large vertical movement
of the swivel arm patients in the standing position can be examined
from head to feet. The large SID of 2.0 m in conjunction with the
short source-image distance allows images with optimum geometry.
Frequent applications are, for example, exposures of the chest and
extremities.
Exposures of patient in the lying position
With the patient table the patient
can be moved into any required position without the need for
repositioning. Therefore Optima URS offers the same advantages as a
Bucky radiography table with a floating table top.
