We are in the process of redeveloping our majors / resus area and will have to expand and replace our xray gantry that we currently have in resus.
I've come across the concept of 'dDR' (Digital direct radiography) where a portable Xray machine is connected to a digital 'receiver' that will show you the xray instantly on the monitor attached to the xray machine and then download the film into pacs later on- ideal (i would have thought) in trauma situations, otherwise we currently have to wait for the films to be processed, archived and then transferred to pacs.
Has anyone had experience of this or has comments on gantries compared to portable xray machines in resus?
Thanks
