Konica AeroDR HQ Specialty Applications
Digital Radiography
The Aero DR Detector is the lightest FPD in the world weighing as little as 2.9 kg (6.3 lbs) and supports wireless networking which transmits captured images to the console. The Aero DR Detector is also available in a 17 x 17″ size and weighs a mere 7.92 lbs. Technologists can easily perform non bucky exams such as table top or cross table projections.

Scintillator Direct-Contact Technology
Konica Minolta succeeded in creating a new technology whereby a Csl scintillator is made to contact directly over a TFT* sensor panel without any protective layer in between them. This technology has made it possible to guide the light emitted from the scintillator to the photodiode more efficiently and with less noise.
High Image Quality
The optimal combination of the Aero DR detector using a Konica Minolta manufactured Csl scintillator with our newly developed low noise readout ICs delivers high DQE.*
At the same time, Aero DR delivers a wider dynamic range for DR which is comparable to CR. This means that in a radiograph of shoulder joints, for example, the Aero DR extended dynamic range permits visualizing the skin line accurately even when the radiographic conditions change along the way.
*DQE Detective Quantum Efficiency
Durable Monocoque Structured Cassette
Konica Minolta adopted the “monocoque case” to ensure reliable operation even under substantial shock or load. Since the battery is incorporated in the cassette, the Aero DR has no notch for battery replacement which is known to reduce the structural integrity of the case. Because of this, the Aero DR cassette case is light weight and high in strength. The load bearing performance of the Aero DR wireless FPD cassette is the same as that of our CR cassette.
Universal Solution for Existing X-ray Room
The Aero DR detector is the same size as an ISO 4090 compliant fil m cassette and will therefore fi t any existing standard size wall-stand or table bucky tray.
Roaming FPD Solution
Aero DR can be used anywhere with “the Shared FPD Solution.” As soon as Aero DR is registered to any X-ray room it is immedi-ately ready to use.
New Energy-Saving, Rapidly Rechargeable, Long-Life Battery
Aero DR provides enough energy to acquire over 10 images by the capacitor being recharged for only three minutes. A lithium ion capacitor, the world’s newest technology, was chosen for its power saving advantage and because it has a charge and discharge cycle life that is longer than that of a lithium ion battery. It won’t need to be replaced during the expected life cycle of the detector and, the rigid structure of the case is strong yet so simple it significantly reduces the weight of the cassette.
