Dynamic U-Arm Imaging Performance
The KDR Advanced U-arm System with DDR combines motion imaging, automated setup, and compact U-arm flexibility.
Automated Exam Positioning
Unlimited APR retrieves exam information and moves the system to a predetermined position and SID automatically. This helps reduce setup time and simplify routine positioning.
Dynamic Motion Imaging
DDR captures diagnostic-quality views of anatomical structures in motion at a lower dose than fluoroscopy. This supports evaluation of thoracic and musculoskeletal conditions in motion.
Built for Compact Clinical Use
The floor-to-wall-mounted design fits under 9-foot ceilings and includes a mobile patient table. Independent SID controls also support wheelchair, standing, and table-based exams.
