Provotec GmbH & Co. KG, based in Espelkamp, Germany, reports that its Prognost XPE table series is being sold in the USA and internationally.

The Prognost XPE table

‘The mobile patient positioning table with motorised elevating and floating tabletop allows variable patient positioning as well as the optimal use of modern X-ray tube/image receptor combinations. Using a fixed working height but the advantage of a mobile table with the floating table top than the Prognost XP is the right choice. Neither line cable nor electricity is necessary.’
All versions can be equipped with a Bucky, cassette holder with fixed grid or detector holder for transportable digital panels, and are moveable longitudinal under the table top, the manufacturer adds.

The firm has also extended its product range with PEDS – complete fully digital X-ray systems with ceiling or floor tube stand, generator, DR detector, digital radiographic control console and Prognost XPE table. ‘Due to special detector housings the systems can be configured with different types of detectors,’ Provotec adds.

The digital radiographic control console provides complete control of all image capture functions within the examination room, as it controls the detector and X-ray exposure equipment while providing upstream connectivity to the hospital HIS/RIS and downstream connectivity to DICOM workstations, archives and printers. In addition, the equipment provides ‘…excellent post-processing tools for image quality assurance’.
Basic functions:
DICOM Print features,
DICOM Storage SCU, -SCP
DICOM Storage Commitment SCU, -SCP
DICOM Query/Retrieve SCU, -SCP.
A selection of further software packages includes DICOM work-list, MPPS, a barcode reader, advanced image processing software, and stitching software.
