JSB DR for Diagnostic Centers

1) More comprehensive "Head-to-Toe" check-up is possible.

2) Quality of diagnostic centers will be far more different than that of other facilities.

3) Diagnostic centers will enjoy more profit due to increased check-up applications.

4) Able to lead by example other healthcare providers due to the fact that 4th generation JSB DR can acquire excellent image quality with the lowest X-ray dose.

Added Check-up List with JSB DR

1) Chest X-ray

2) Whole Spine (Scoliosis, Lordosis, Kyphosis)

3) Long Bone (Bow-leg, Growth Petal)

4) General (True AP, PA, Lateral Extremities)

Price Comparison to that of CCD

It takes about 5 seconds to scan the whole spine, whereas it usually takes 3 seconds to examine the chest only. In order to scan the longer part such as whole spine or lower extremities, the capacity of X-ray tube should be larger than that of CCD. Our system as cooling type has 1MHU, whereas CCD type uses 1/3 ~ 2/5 of the amount DDR Inventor-V has. We think that's why our price seems to be higher than CCD DR systems.

It may sound far-fetched, but MIC detector is semi-permanent provided that it is used properly without being affected by outer physical impact. If such as impact was made, the gas in the detector could be leaking and the detector could function less effectively. Then we have to repair it, refilling the gas.

And replacing the detector costs reasonably provided that it is caused by user's carelessness in their usage and the warranty period is over. In fact, we will offer the replacement at the reasonable price until the system is no longer used.

We are certain that even though it may cost more than CCD DR as initial investment, DDR Inventor-V will be economically advantageous in the longer term compared to CCD or FPD types.

Study Result

From January 2003 to March 2007, Samsung Medical Center compared the slot-scan digital radiography (SSDR) of the lower extremtity region and the computed radiography (CR) method with respect to the image quality and radiation exposure. To obtain an SSDR image, they used the DDR Inventor-V.

In conclusion, the data suggest that the SSDR method can provide a better image quality than the CR method in the lower extremity region. In addition, the SSDR method, for the most part, exposes the patient to a lower entrance skin dose.

Shielding Booth for Space-saving

The capsule-type X-ray system was developed for the first time in the world by JSB Medics to provide shielding solution that will be able to function as all-in-one digital clinic. The system was developed for making most use of space. Fully shielded system requires only 1.5m X 3m of room space.

Due to the complete shielding of the Digital X-ray System, it is unnecessary to shield the X-ray room in its entirety. And space-saving design allows installation in confined areas such as consulting room. The minimum installation area is 3,000mm X 1,500mm. In addition, there is no need for control rooms or for the entire shielding of X-ray rooms, which is ultimately leading to lower costs.

Also, since taking X-rays right in front of the equipment is possible, it will save the operator's time in walking to the control room. And as the operator can take the X-ray near the patient, this will aid in stability in the patient and shorten the time necessary to take the X-ray.

Authorities are very sensitive when it gets to the governing of the placement and operation of X-ray equipment as well as human exposure to X-rays. With conventional X-ray equipment, rooms need to be specifically prepared for placement of the machine and operators are obligated to operate the machine from a distance protected by lead aprons and screens. The JSB shielding apparatus is unique in that it can be placed in any room and operating personnel are not exposed to scattered X-rays.

When PACS is not built

Establishing PACS environment costs too much. At the same time, the price of conventional X-ray films is rising due to its scarce inventory and increased demands in the region.

The solution is that JSB Medics can provide them with not only DDR Inventor-V but also mini-PACS and Monitor. Then users can read X-ray images without having to build up full PACS.

JSB wants you to adopt the DDR Inventor-V instead of X-ray film that would cost too much to purchase. Output and storage is possible by using CDs. Think about it. How much are X-ray films? And other costs like a photo darkroom and chemicals to develop the film and so forth? After all, the PACS envionment will be ruling. It is a trend.
