Dynamic digital radiography comes to mobile x-ray
Mobile x-ray is a cornerstone of imaging in acute and critical care, particularly for patients who cannot be safely moved. Now, advances in technology are extending what mobile radiography can offer. Konica Minolta’s AeroDR TX, distributed by HSL in the UK and Ireland, introduces dynamic digital radiography (DDR) to the mobile x-ray environment, enabling clinicians to visualise anatomy in motion at the point of care.
Unlike conventional static x-ray, DDR captures a rapid sequence of images over a short period of time, creating a dynamic view of physiological movement. This allows assessment of motion such as lung expansion and diaphragmatic movement, providing functional information alongside traditional anatomical imaging all using a familiar x-ray workflow and low radiation dose.
The AeroDR TX integrates this capability into a compact, wireless mobile system designed for use in wards, emergency departments and intensive care units. By allowing both static and dynamic imaging to be performed at the bedside, the system supports timely clinical decision-making while reducing the need for patient transport.
To support education and clinical understanding of this emerging technology, HSL is offering an in-trust, CPD-accredited DDR Insight Event: Mobile X-Ray Education Session. The session provides hands-on exposure to AeroDR TX, combining live demonstrations with practical discussion around workflows, applications and potential clinical value. Get in touch to book enquiries@hsl.co.uk.
By bringing dynamic digital radiography directly to NHS trusts, HSL aims to support imaging teams in exploring how next-generation mobile x-ray technology can enhance bedside imaging and patient care.
