Quantum's QV-800 Digital Universal system is an effective and efficient direct digital imaging system designed for hospital emergency departments, traumatology and all general radiography applications. The integrated C-Arm design allows the x-ray tube and image receptor to remain in constant alignment, even as the arm is rotated or the image receptor is angled. This versatile concept provides for effortless "motorized" movement of the C-Arm for vertical and rotational movements. For added safety, the unit incorporates sophisticated 'collision avoidance" electronics and electronic safety bumpers. This ergonomic system easily facilitates exams of patients in standing, seated or recumbent positions. It is an extremely easy-to-use system for technologists and offers features which allow patients to be imaged in any position.
