Quantum Medical Imaging and Agfa HealthCare have combined their expertise to develop Digital Integrated Radiography (DiR), a completely new approach to digital x-ray imaging. DiRexTM, the result of merging together Quantum's advanced TechVisionTM with Agfa's exclusive DirectriXTM imaging technology into a single, superior point-of-care system for digital imaging.
Together, these technologies are DiRexTM: the only solution offered in today's market that delivers the image quality and workflow benefits of direct radiography combined with positioning flexibility inherent of a cassette-based system. Improved workflow, excellent image quality, and flexibility equal exceptional patient care, offered at an affordable total cost of ownership (TCO).
DiRexTM offers a unique set of benefits to virtually any clinical setting
Improved delivery of patient care
- Exclusive TechVision tube-side image preview and x-ray parameter control enables technologist to spend more time at patient side
- Measurable reduction in exam time improves overall patient experience while accelerating throughput
Enhanced imaging performance
- Exclusive technologies consistently produce images of remarkable quality, enhancing diagnostic confidence
- Superior dose sensitivity provides the potential to reduce the patient x-ray dose without compromising image quality
Faster throughput
- Single operator control provides one-step anatomical selection of all x-ray techniques and image processing factors
- Tube-side display allows control of all x-ray parameters and also provides image preview increasing the technologists proficiency
- Rapid detector scanning reduces wait times for digital image detectors and provides fast access to digital images
- In-room quality control reduces exam time and retakes while improving overall image quality
Outstanding scalability
- DiRexTM is configured to meet a wide range of clinical and budgetary needs
Proven clinical flexibility
- Portable 'cassette style' digital image detectors enable traditional positioning improving patient comfort, while optimizing workflow in a variety of clinical settings
Cost effectiveness
- Improved workflow, clinical flexibility, high image quality and exceptional cost of ownership contribute to a sound return on investment

Agfa DX-S Digital Imaging Plates
- DirectriXTM needle-based detector technology uses an advanced crystal phosphor that allows higher packing density and layer thickness, as compared to powder phosphor used in traditional system design
- The higher absorption and conversion efficiencies result in remarkable image quality at a lower dose level. The system DQE is twice that of conventional CR and higher than or equal to most DR sytems available
- The matrix dramatically reduces light spread in the scintillator layer, minimizing scattering
Agfa DX-S ScanheadTM Technology
- Scanhead technology enables high resolution scanning of the DirectriX detector with a scanning resolution equal to 50 um (20 pixel/mm)
- Line-to-line scanning provides an accelerated read-out resulting in a fast preview image and a high cassette throughput
- The compact design integrates stimulation and light collection into one convenient Scanhead module
Agfa NX Integrated Operator Control
- Quantum's high frequency x-ray generator is conveniently integrated with Agfa's NX workstation providing a single, intuitive interface through which the technologist can access patient information and complete all standard exam tasks
- NX delivers a high level of integration with other hospital systems including HIS, RIS and PACS
- With the touch screen monitor, the radiographer can complete all standard tasks quickly and effortlessly
- Intuitive interface design, provides more flexibility and efficiency
- With Agfa's Advanced Musica2TM image processing, the radiographer spends significantly less time making image adjustments, allowing for faster image delivery. The
in-room integration means a more convenient workflow for the radiographer throughout the imaging process
