Designed to replace conventional film techniques, or existing digital systems, in multipurpose or dedicated applications, the Nexus DR is a single common imaging platform for general radiographic procedures. However, these producures exclude fluoroscopy, angiography, and mammography.

Varian's imaging components group sales and marketing vice-president Carl LaCasce said: "Nexus DR enables an operator to acquire, display, process, transmit, export images to portable media and send images over a network for long-term storage.

"The advanced image processing algorithms in the Nexus DR make it possible to bring out diagnostic details that can be difficult to see using conventional imaging techniques."

Main elements of the Nexus DR include an image detector, a computer, a high resolution monitor, and Varian's proprietary image processing software.
