With the X-DR upgrades solutions from EXAMION, you are opting for the fastest route to an X-ray image. You can take X-rays without any additional image development steps and have the digital X-ray image available on the PC immediately after it has been acquired. This saves time and also ensures that X-ray examinations hardly ever have to be repeated. This increases acceptance among your patients and also reduces radiation exposure of each individual patient.
Thanks to the X-AQS X-ray software, you not only benefit from excellent image processing and therefore very high image quality; you also have all relevant image information visible with one click. The universal software platform is intuitive to use and makes routine work easier.
The retrofit solutions from EXAMION offer the major advantage that stationary, mobile as well as portable X-ray systems can be equipped with the X-ray detectors. For mobile applications, you simply carry the detector for the X-ray images with you. A compact notebook or tablet PC is used as the acquisition console.
EXAMION X-ray detectors are available in different versions, and due to modular design can be combined with each other to meet even the most demanding requirements. In the case of stationary X-ray systems with two bucky trays, usually one on the X-ray table and the other one on the wall unit, there are various options available:
- A single detector can be used either in the bucky table or wall stand, as needed.
- In case of a two-detector solution, both the tabletop bucky tray and the wall-mounted device are equipped with their own detector. This avoids time-consuming swapping out of the detector between the tabletop and wall-mounted device.
- For extremity exposures and special positioning techniques, the tabletop bucky tray X-ray detector would be used. For a top of the range equipment version, however, there is also the option of coupling a third detector to the X-ray system for X-ray exposures of this type.

Frequently Asked Questions About Modernizing an Existing X-ray System
Whether upgrading an existing X-ray system or purchasing a new one is the better solution depends on the condition and interaction of the individual system components. If the mechanical system and key components remain suitable and the main need for modernization concerns the detector, software, or workflow, an upgrade can be a sensible option. If extensive modernization is required across multiple areas, replacing the system entirely may offer the better long-term solution.
Depending on the system and its technical compatibility, various components can be upgraded. These may include X-ray detectors, image acquisition, image processing, software, and DICOM interfaces. The technical feasibility and economic viability of an upgrade should be assessed based on the existing system and its intended future use.
Replacing the X-ray detector alone may not be sufficient if the mechanical system, positioning capabilities, or range of motion of the existing X-ray system no longer meet current requirements. Outdated software, limited IT integration, or multiple components reaching the end of their service life may also make a more comprehensive modernization necessary — or even require replacement of the entire system.
Before making an investment, the technical condition of the system, image quality, existing workflow, IT and DICOM integration, mechanical components, and the availability of service and spare parts should be assessed at a minimum. It should also be evaluated which examinations will need to be performed in the future and which components actually need to be upgraded or replaced to meet those requirements.
