Carestream Healthcare International unveils DRX-LC Detector for long-length imaging

SHANGHAI, Sept. 4, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Carestream Healthcare International has unveiled the latest iteration of its DRX-LC Detector, designed to revolutionize long-length imaging in radiography. This updated detector enhances imaging performance, efficiency, and quality, addressing the traditional challenges of long-length imaging, which can be time-consuming and complex.

Traditionally, long-length imaging required multiple exposures and image stitching, leading to increased hold times, potential retakes, and patient discomfort. The DRX-LC Detector simplifies this process by enabling single-shot long-length imaging, making it possible to capture long-bone and spine exams in a single exposure. This not only reduces the time patients are held in position but also minimizes the need for retakes, thereby improving patient comfort.

The new version of the DRX-LC Detector builds on this foundation by incorporating advanced technology and AI to boost consistency and image quality. Detector Exposure Control (DEC) ensures precise, consistent exposure by automatically adjusting imaging parameters, thereby reducing variability, optimizing dose, and enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Smart Noise Cancellation (SNC) further enhances image clarity by reducing noise while preserving fine details, resulting in high-quality images with lower radiation doses.

Marco Riolfo, Detector Portfolio Product Line Manager at Carestream Healthcare International, stated, "Our latest DRX-LC enhancements focus on delivering more consistent, efficient, and high-quality imaging. By integrating single-capture capability with intelligent exposure control and AI-driven noise cancellation, we are helping radiography departments streamline workflows while supporting improved patient care and diagnostic confidence."

These advancements not only improve dose efficiency and streamline exams by combining single-shot acquisition with intelligent automation but also enhance compatibility across different imaging environments. The DRX-LC Detector can be used in a variety of settings, from radiology departments to operating rooms, thanks to its flexibility and compatibility with DR rooms, mobile systems, and retrofit solutions.

By combining single-shot long-length imaging with AI-enabled innovations, the DRX-LC Detector significantly elevates long-length imaging performance while improving efficiency, consistency, and the overall patient and user experience. Carestream Healthcare International continues to leverage its century-old imaging heritage and global expertise to deliver advanced medical imaging solutions that are both high-quality and accessible.
