Intended use
Indications for use
The XD 17 and XD⁺17 DR detectors are a digital X-ray imaging solution. They
acquire images by detecting X-rays that has been passed through the human
body. When X-ray photons pass through the scintillator in the detector, the
photons convert to visible ray, and the visible ray is converted to electronic
signals through TFTs – thin film transistors (a-Si). Then the detector
digitalizes X-ray images and transfers them to the PC (workstation) for
diagnostic review using an image display monitor. Advanced digital image
processing also allows efficient diagnosis, information management, and
sharing of image information over the network.
The XD 17 and XD⁺17 DR detectors are used for the general-purpose
diagnostic procedures, and as well as intended to replace radiographic film/
screen systems.
The XD 17 and XD⁺17 DR detectors are not intended for mammography
applications.
XD 17, XD⁺17 | Introduction to the DR Detector | 11
0434A EN 20210426 1355

Indications for use of the DR Retrofit solution
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.
XD 17, XD⁺17 | Introduction to the DR Detector | 13

Configuration
The DR detector is a component that can be integrated in an X-ray system and
that communicates to a workstation. Multiple DR detectors can communicate
to a single MUSICA Acquisition Workstation. A DR detector can be used on
more than one MUSICA Acquisition Workstation.

1. Client mode: the detector connects to the workstation via the built-in
access point of the System Control Unit (SCU).
2. Client mode: the detector connects to the workstation via a wireless
access point.
3. Access point mode: the workstation connects to the detector, which is
acting as an access point.
4. Wired mode: the detector communicates to the workstation via the DR
detector cable.
