Digital Radiographic Systems

System Application
The Definium 8000 Digital Radiographic Imaging System
provides state of the art image quality, image manipulation,
advanced clinical applications, networking/connectivity,
operator control, dose reporting and system maintenance.
These features make this system easy to use and reliable
while providing high quality radiographic images in a digital
environment.
The Definium 8000 is designed to handle radiographic
applications using a flat-panel digital detector in the table,
and/or the wallstand, or film/CR imaging for off-table and
tabletop exposures depending on the configuration
purchased.
Various configurations are available that include a fixed The Definium 8000 comes in 4 configurations:
elevating table, and/or wallstand with GEs patented Digital
Detector that captures radiographic images in digital form, as Digital table and digital wallstand
well as an X-ray generator/power unit and a ceiling mounted Digital table only
tube support. All systems include an Acquisition Review

term storage, and quick in-room viewing of images. Images Extended digital wallstand with stretcher
may be transferred automatically or manually via a DICOM
network for printing, long-term storage/archive, and detailed
review.
The Definium 8000 also offers a wide range of advanced
clinical applications that are options at the time of purchase
or can be easily added to the system in the future. GEs Dual A full range of accessories are also available, such as; mobile
