Switching to digital radiography can transform both imaging quality and workflow efficiency, yet the high upfront costs often hold healthcare providers back. Agfa offers a smarter approach with its DR Retrofit, a solution that upgrades existing systems without requiring a complete replacement. By combining advanced Duraline panels with versatile DR Detectors, Agfa helps hospitals and clinics in India modernise their imaging capabilities while protecting prior investments. This balance of innovation and practicality makes digital adoption more accessible and cost effective.
DR Retrofit for Smooth and Cost Effective Transformation
Agfa’s DR Retrofit is designed to convert analogue or computed radiography (CR) systems into fully digital environments while allowing facilities to keep using their existing X-ray tables, stands, and generators. This makes it possible to achieve the benefits of digital workflows with minimal disruption to daily operations.
The system offers clear advantages:
- Dependable performance – Duraline detectors are IP67 waterproof, drop resistant up to one meter, and fully operational in temperatures from 0–40 °C, making them suitable for a wide variety of imaging needs, from pediatric care to veterinary and military use.
- Extended uptime – With two long lasting batteries, the system provides up to 15 hours of continuous operation per shift, supporting uninterrupted workflows.
- High quality imaging with lower dose – When paired with Agfa’s MUSICA image processing, the Retrofit achieves excellent image clarity while enabling radiation dose reductions of up to 50–60%.
- Scalable flexibility – A single DR Retrofit module can be shared across multiple X-ray systems, from mobile units to fixed rooms, helping facilities maximise utilisation and value.
Duraline Panels Built for Reliability and Performance
Agfa’s Duraline panels are engineered to withstand the demands of clinical practice while delivering diagnostic precision.
- Superior image quality with efficiency – Using advanced cesium iodide (CsI) technology, the panels provide detailed results while keeping dose levels low.
- Durable and lightweight design – The XF+ series is glass free and resistant to drops of up to 1.5 meters, while the XD and XD+ versions offer a strong balance of performance and affordability. All models include IP67 protection.
- Easy sharing between systems – With NFC or button based access, panels can be reassigned quickly across devices, ensuring smooth workflows and reducing downtime.
DR Detectors Offering Flexibility at the Core
At the foundation of Agfa’s digital ecosystem are DR Detectors, designed to deliver both versatility and reliable imaging results.
- Multiple sizes and formats – Available in a wide range of sizes, including Duraline and S-line models, the detectors fit standard Bucky trays and are suitable for both general radiography and mammography.
- Cassette free workflow – Lightweight and wireless, these detectors allow for faster imaging cycles, immediate verification, and seamless PACS transfer, ensuring efficient day-to-day operations.
- Consistency with MUSICA – Agfa’s MUSICA processing ensures first-time-right imaging, enhanced clarity, and reduced retakes, which helps improve efficiency while lowering patient dose exposure.
A Smarter Future for Radiology
By bringing together DR Retrofit, Duraline panels, and DR Detectors, Agfa delivers a complete pathway to digital radiography that is flexible, durable, and scalable. Healthcare providers benefit from:
- Faster workflows and improved productivity
- Diagnostic quality images at reduced radiation doses
- Cost-effective upgrades that safeguard prior investments
- Reliable performance across diverse clinical environments
Agfa’s digital radiography ecosystem gives healthcare facilities the tools they need to modernise without compromise. With innovative solutions that combine efficiency, durability, and affordability, radiology departments can move forward confidently into a smarter, more connected future.
