The FireCR+ Reader increases productivity with an unparalleled throughput of up to 70 plates per hour, providing crisp, clear and optimized images for viewing, enhancement, duplication, archiving, and distribution. Unique autocalibration technology ensures stability and consistency―even when the CR readers are wheeled around a busy clinic on a cart or transported in a mobile diagnostic imaging unit.

The FireCR+ Reader provides a fast return on investment by delivering high-quality diagnostic
image processing, improved productivity, and the elimination of film processing costs―at an affordable price. In contrast to more expensive CR readers that take years to provide a return on investment, FireCR+ users can achieve a return in just 3-6 months, depending on medical imaging volume.

The compact, lightweight FireCR+ Reader is designed to fit into any environment, with a wall-mount option for facilities with limited space availability. At just 5 inches deep and 65 pounds, the CR system can fit in even the smallest of x-ray rooms, so technologists no longer have to leave the room―and the patient―to examine x-rays, improving patient care and satisfaction by preventing diagnostic imaging workflow disruptions.

The durable CR reader also can be used with mobile x-ray equipment that is transported within hospitals and between geographical locations.

All FireCR+ Readers are delivered in a solid, lockable transport case specially designed for the unit. Unique, low profile rollers make it easy to move the reader between rooms or transport it on a mobile imaging unit. The transportation case, along with the system’s small size and weight, also make the FireCR+ ideal for swap and repair service.

3DISC is the first and only CR reader manufacturer worldwide to offer the ability to upgrade its readers―customers can select the product that meets current needs and budgets, and then scale up as their medical imaging volume increases. This unique feature provides maximum flexibility for practices and clinics, protecting their computed radiography investments as they grow. Upgrades can be completed in the field, ensuring no disruption in diagnostic imaging workflow.

Chiropractors looking to benefit from digital diagnostic imaging, have been hampered by the high cost and large size of typical CR readers. A CR system needs to provide a fast return on investment.

For chiropractic facilities, the FireCR+ is the answer―eliminating the high costs associated with film processing and providing a return on investment in as little as 3-6 months, depending on diagnostic imaging volume.

The FireCR+ is managed by the intuitive, easy-to-use QuantorMed Imaging Software, which allows facilities to quickly input patient data or access it directly from the HIS, RIS, or PACS―improving CR productivity and accuracy. The imaging software features a viewer for displaying images on a monitor and facilitates quality control and image management activities such as window leveling and brightness adjustments. It also includes organ-specific diagnostic image processing software.

The CR reader also is compatible with all common format standards and interfaces, and its open architecture provides flexibility for future upgrades as the needs of the practice or facility change over time.

3DISC offers a range of options to meet the diverse needs of customers in a variety of clinical settings:

• Additional advanced viewers can be purchased for use at workstations throughout the facility.
• DICOM Send SCU―Manual or automatic distribution of images to one or more DICOM recipients, such as PACS.
• DICOM Patient CD―Creates patient CD/DVDs that include DICOM DIR structure and a built-in viewer.
• DICOM print option for printing film on a dry film printer.
• Stitching options facilitate the imaging of legs, spines, and other anatomical areas―particularly useful for orthopedic and chiropractic facilities.

For facilities evaluating CR reader options, ensuring high-quality images is paramount. 3DISC CR systems are the result of a three-year development process, spearheaded by a team of researchers with wide-ranging experience in all facets of imaging technology. The FireCR+ product line offers a Detector Quantum Efficiency higher than 20%, as well as more than three line pairs of resolution.

In addition, consistent medical image quality is ensured by autocalibration technology that continually monitors and adjusts the CR readers to ensure a level beam path across the surface of the image plate for each and every image scanned. As a result, 3DISC CR readers offer excellent stability and repeatability―even when wheeled around a busy practice or clinic on a cart or transported in a mobile diagnostic imaging unit.

3DISC offers flexibility in terms of medical imaging speed, upgradability, low cost, portability, and the option to mount the device on a wall or place it on a cart or tabletop―giving users the flexibility that lets them grow. The bottom line―customers can be confident that 3DISC’s CR readers provide the exceptional diagnostic imaging quality required to deliver the highest standard of patient care.
