Intended Use
The DR Detector is a wired and wireless radiographic digital X-ray imaging
device commonly referred to as flat panel detector. It is designed for all
general radiography applications. The DR Detector will be used in a
radiological environment by qualified staff to capture the X-ray images and
send these images to the imaging processing software.
The DR Detector is not intended for mammography applications.
Indications for Use
The DR Retrofit solution is indicated for use in general projection
radiographic applications to capture for display diagnostic quality
radiographic images of human anatomy. The DR Retrofit solution may be used
wherever conventional screen-film systems may be used.
The DR Retrofit solution is not indicated for use in mammography.
Intended User
This manual is written for trained users of Agfa products. Users are considered
as the persons who actually handle the equipment as well as the persons
having authority over the equipment. Before attempting to work with this
equipment, the user must read, understand, note and strictly observe all
warnings, cautions and safety markings on the equipment.
Only a physician or a legally certified operator should use this product.

The delivery contains a set of labels. When using multiple DR Detector, on the
labels a nickname is written to identify the DR Detector. An identical label is
attached to the bucky of the X-ray system to identify the dedicated workspace
of each DR Detector.
Topics:
•Anti-scatter grids
•DR Detector cable
16 | DX-D 40C, DX-D 40G | Introduction to the DR Detector
0290B EN 20190401 1627

Anti-scatter grids
Anti-scatter grids are used to reduce scattered radiation and improve image
quality. Grids are available as an option.
Refer to the Agfa website for specifications on the anti-scatter grids that have
been found compatible with the system and the DR Detectors.

DX-D 40C, DX-D 40G | Introduction to the DR Detector | 17
0290B EN 20190401 1627

DR Detector cable
The DR Detector cable connects the DR Detector to the System Control Unit.
The DR Detector cable can be used for two different functions. Which of two
functions is enabled, is selected at installation. Both functions cannot be
enabled on the same detector.
1. The DR Detector is configured for wireless operation. The cable is used for
registering a shared DR Detector on another NX workstation.
2. The DR Detector is configured for wired operation. The cable is used to
power the DR Detector and to transmit image data.
