KDR Advanced U-arm System

High-Performance Digital Radiography: Experience Unmatched Efficiency and Image Clarity in a Compact Design.

When you need faster clinical answers to vital health questions, the KDR® Advanced U-arm System delivers. This state-of-the-art digital radiography solution combines advanced design innovations with a compact footprint, making it the ideal choice for hospitals and clinics looking to optimize workflow, increase staff productivity, and improve patient outcomes.

Key Benefits of the KDR Advanced U-Arm System

Superior Image Quality for Confident Diagnoses

Reach a diagnosis faster with high-definition imaging. Our 17”x17” Cesium Iodide (CsI) detector provides exceptional visualization of both bone and soft tissue from a single exposure.

  • Constant Alignment: The system ensures the X-ray tube and DR panel remain perfectly aligned regardless of the swivel arm tilt or panel angle.
  • DDR-Ready: Upgradeable to Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) to view anatomical motion in real-time.

Space-Saving Design for Small Imaging Suites

The KDR Advanced U-Arm is the perfect fit for facilities with limited space.

  • Low Ceiling Compatibility: The flexible floor-mounted system accommodates ceilings as low as 8 feet, maximizing your existing office square footage.
  • Small Form Factor: The streamlined detector design allows for better head-end and foot-end access, simplifying patient positioning.

Optimized Patient Care and Workflow

Minimize exam times and increase patient comfort with automated positioning.

  • Auto-Swivel Technology: The system automatically moves to predetermined positions based on exam info, saving valuable time.
  • 3-Second Image Review: Images are captured and displayed for on-screen review in under three seconds, allowing for immediate approval and faster patient turnover.
  • Precise Control: Effortlessly transition from PA to Lateral positions without moving the patient.

Advanced Technical Features

  • Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR): Enhance your clinical capabilities with X-ray in motion.
  • ULTRA Acquisition Software: Seamlessly enhances images for maximum clarity.
  • Tube-Mounted Interface: Confirm patient data and review images at the point of care.
  • Automatic Stitching: Optional features for long-bone and full-spine imaging.
The perfect fit

The KDR® Advanced U-Arm System offers superior-quality radiography in relatively small spaces.

The flexible floor-mounted system accommodates 8’ ceilings, maximizing every square foot of office space and improving positioning capabilities. It uses a small form factor detector for head-end and foot-end access, simplifying anatomy positioning by placing the patient in front or behind the detector to optimize positioning.

  1. The floor-to-wall-mounted main column supports vertical movement with a dual-speed, motorized swivel arm.
  2. The swivel arm features a 135˚ range of motion with detents at 0˚, 30˚, 90˚ and 120˚, plus 39” of vertical arm movement.

  3. Tube mounted interface control
  4.  An advanced collimator employs a linear laser beam with light field indicator and three-knob manual control to optimize patient positioning.
  5. A 440 lb. capacity mobile patient table comes standard with every U-Arm DR system.
  6. Detector side control.
  7. Multi-purpose patient positioning indicator.
