Multitom Rax is a Twin Robotic X-ray system that thanks to its twin robotic arms for moving tube and detector offers unparalleled positioning flexibility in the X-ray suite. This allows for patient-centric workflows and weight-bearing imaging. Therefore the system is well-suited for MSK and trauma imaging. The system is easy to position around movement-impaired patients (on the table, in a wheelchair, or on a patient trolley/stretcher) even in challenging projections, while offering an ergonomic workflow.
Usability benefits
• Complete system operation with control of generator, tube, and imaging scanner from a single integrated console
• Convenient scanner positioning via connected Remote Control Console1 and one wireless remote control
• Controlled via the selection of organ programs
• The X-ray tube position, generator parameters and collimator settings, including additional filtration as well as image processing parameters, are automatically set via the selected organ program
• Simultaneous movement in up to 10 axes with Twin FAST (Free Axis Simultaneous Travel) Automatic positioning of the X-ray tube and built-in detector into user-defined acquisition positions as preset in the organ program. By pressing the SmartMove button, the X-ray tube and detector stand automatically move to a preset position in accordance with the selected organ program
• The touch-sensitive wireless remote control with SmartTouch helps prevent unintentional system movements – SmartMove buttons are located on the foot kick-switch and on the wireless remote control
• The automatic positioning can be configured in service mode to bypass any obstacles or fixtures in the room through ICP software (ICP = Intelligent Collision Protection)
• RAXtrack: Extensive tracking capabilities of tube and built-in – RAX detector. Tracking of SID, longitudinal, transversal and lateral tube and detector movements as well as tube rotation for patient table projections. Vertical and horizontal tube and detector movement tracking within the room.
• RAXalign: By the push of a button on the detector stand, the X-ray tube is automatically aligned and positioned to the angle and position of the built-in detector while maintaining the center and SID according to the grid used. By pressing the centering button on the tube stand, the detector stand is automatically aligned to the tube‘s central beam while maintaining the centering and SID according to the grid used
• Virtual U-Arm: Automatically moves detector and tube from a.p. to lateral within seconds without the need for patient repositioning
Moreover, Multitom Rax combines classic radiography with optional fluoroscopic capabilities, 3D imaging (Real3D1) and full body slot scanning (True2scale Body Scan1). A multitude of imaging techniques available in one room without patient transfer offers workflow and economic advantages.
