Intended Use
The DX-D 300 system is an integrated X-ray imaging system used in hospitals,
clinics and medical practices by physicists, radiographers and radiologists to
make, process and view static X-ray radiographic images of the skeleton
(including skull, spinal column and extremities), chest, abdomen and other
body parts on adult, pediatric or neonatal patients.
Applications can be performed with the patient in the sitting, standing or
lying position.
This device is not intended for mammography applications.
10 | DX-D 300 | Introduction

understand, note and strictly observe all warnings, cautions and safety
markings on the equipment.
DX-D 300 | Introduction | 11
0172E EN 20181116 1653

Configuration
DX-D 300 is a DR X-ray system (Direct Radiography X-ray system) that can be
combined with components from a CR X-ray system.
The complete DX-D 300 consists of the following components:
• Vertical column with U-arm
• X-Ray tube with automatic collimator with DAP (dose area product meter)
• Integrated 4343R DR Detector or DR Detector Bucky
• Portable DR Detector
• Mobile table
• X-Ray generator
• NX workstation
The DR Detector bucky has two variants. Depending on the configuration, the
use of the DR Detector bucky is restricted to
• DR Detectors with a size equivalent to 14x17 inch (43x35 cm) and 43x35
CR Cassettes
• DR Detectors with a size equivalent to 17x17 inch (43x43 cm)
The DX-D 300 configuration with integrated DR Detector automatically
detects the grid status. The DX-D 300 configuration with DR Detector Bucky
does not detect the grid status.
DX-D 300 can be used in combination with:
• CR digitizer
DX-D 300 supports the Full Leg Full Spine application using the integrated
4343R DR Detector or a portable DR Detector in the DR Detector bucky.
