High Image Quality
High DQE and Lower Doses
Konica Minolta introduces the latest technological advances with the AeroDR 3 “High sensitivity TFT panel.” “The thicker CsI scintillator” and new ROIC can reduce the electrical noise level by 50% or more. Now we can provide patients and AeroDR users with high detector quantum efficiency (DQE) and half of dose with Aero DR3 when compared with previously cleared Konica-Minolta systems.
Thicker CsI Scintillator
The scintillator material is evenly distributed from the bottom to the top of the panel, and it is more than 20% thicker than the AeroDR 2 1417HQ panel. This helps provide the high DQE.
Performance of 100 micron pixels
The pixels are 100μm across, and this small size helps ensure clear images.
Lightweight and Robust Structure
New Grip Design
Weighing just 2.6 kg (including battery), the panel is light in weight, and a new grip design makes it even easier and safer to handle.
Super Monocoque Housing Structure
KonicaMinolta has developed a new detector design to provide easy handling and high durability.
Load Resistance
The AeroDR 3 panel has undergone a variety of internal tests based on some assumed extreme operating scenarios.
Bend Resistance
KonicaMinolta assumed an operating scenario in which a 130 kg patient lies on the AeroDR 3 panel main body for a bedside exposure, and designed the detector such that it would not affect the processed image or suffer internal damage.
Sustain IPX6 waterproof compliance even after the panel was dropped from a height of 1.0m
The AeroDR 3 panel has cleared the durability test for water resistance after dropping it from a height of 1m.
The structure of the AeroDR 3 panel does not allow liquids to penetrate or damage the main components.
- *
- The internal test condition is that the AeroDR 3 1417HD main body is dropped once onto a concrete floor that has a 2mm-thick sheet laid on it, after which the water resistance test is conducted. Depending upon the operating conditions and detector status, the IPX6 water resistance may be lost.
Each AeroDR 3 panel has passed the MIL-STD-810G drop strength test
MIL-STD-810G is defined by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Drop strength is one of the test items（. Drop strength test : it is dropped on a total of 26 places once each from the height of 122 cm (48 inches).
The 26 places are 6 planes above plywood, 12 ridgelines, and 8 vertices.）
