Image acquisition - CONAXX

CONAXX

With a few clicks to the perfect X-ray image - an intuitive touchscreen application for image generation.

CONAXX is a user-friendly and intuitionally operable system for the acquisition of x-ray images. On a touchscreen monitor the software guides you in a convenient way through the complete workflow according to the process in a practice or clinic.

CONAXX supports you in operating the CR- or DR-system, image processing and optimization, up to data transfer for subsequent image diagnosis and archiving. In addition, CONAXX offers a wide range of supplemental functions (e.g. support for EMR and various DICOM-services), which are bundled in individual modules. The basic system comprises the following functions: patient identification, creation of x-ray jobs, image preview and optimization as well as data transfer and archiving.
