The Convenient and Compact CR

System for Veterinary Practices

Fire CR+ 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 vet with a throughput of 20 to 70

cassettes per hour and the option of a space - saving wall mount
 The small and fast CR system for digital
X-Ray imaging in veterinary medicine
The FireCR+ vet system is suitable for examinations with imaging plates both
in small veterinary practices requiring only a few images per day as well as
veterinary clinics dealing with large number of patients.
Robust, compact, light weight and fast: in combination with the professional
dicomPACS®DX-R image acquisition software, the CR system provides all the

FireCR+ 20/40/60/80Vet
necessary image processing functions. The FireCR+ solution may be
integrated into existing DR or DR systems and is therefore ideal as a second
or additional system for high workloads in large clinics or university facilities.
The dicomPACS®DX-R software in particular allows quick and easy working.
Special emphasis was placed on maximum image quality and maximum
flexibility. For example, the included professional image processing software
dicomPACS®DX-R can be adapted very easily to the veterinarians specific
wishes or requirements for each x-ray examination. The user is not limited to
the selection of “pre-set” standards. The functionality provides the best
possible image quality in accordance with the veterinarians needs.
The creation of the best possible images, however, also
requires the correct set up of the x-ray unit and the correct
positioning of the patient. To help the x-ray assistant with
this task, a multimedia radiographic positioning guide for
each examination has been integrated directly into the
system. It allows the user to verify, prior to taking the x-ray,
how to correctly set up the x-ray image. Even videos on the
positioning of a patient etc are included. This guide removes
the need for radiographers to consult tables, reference
books or external software programs.

Advantages of the professional dicomPACS®DX-R X-Ray ed
acquisition software:
• Modern graphical user interface (GUI) adaptable to almost any language.

• Touchscreen operation – to ensure quick and efficient work and a smooth workflow.

• Capture of patient data via DICOM worklist, BDT/GDT, or other protocols – data may also
be captured manually.

adjustments in human and veterinary medicine already included.

• Safe and fast registration of emergency patients.

• Allows the user to switch between examinations of a patient, for instance to avoid having
to re-position the patient frequently.

• Special tool for veterinary medicine, such as an extra dialog box for patient and owner
data, integrated hip dysplasia measuring, special image filters, TPLO, TTA, Buchanan’s
Vertebral Heart Score, distraction index, multi generator operation for alternating between
mobile and stationary systems and much more…

• Entry of recurring examination procedures as macros.

• Fully integrated radiographic positioning guide for each examination including

comprehensive notes, photos and correct x-ray images.

• A single workstation with installed dicomPACS®DX-R software may be upgraded by the

following options (selection):

• Direct control of the x-ray generator (generator control).

• Tools for taking images of an entire leg or a full spine

(image stitching).

• Planning and working with digital prostheses templates/

operation planning.

• Connection of several diagnostic monitors.

• Capture of additional patient and examination data and

their freely configurable statistical evaluation.

• Facilitates the use of a flat panel and an intraoral sensor.

Suitcase
The FireCR+ requires very little space and is
therefore also suitable for mobile use. Easy to
set up and well padded in a sturdy suitcase, it
is ideal for vehicle transport and mobile use,
e.g. in horse stables. The transport suitcase is
equipped with wheels and a pull-out handle.
Image processing
Automatic image processing for optimal quality
• Perfect images at all times—generally no adjustment required.

• Integrated software for automatic image optimisation.

• Professional, adaptable image processing for each individual

examination to obtain best possible image settings for the needs of each customer.

• Due to specially developed processors, the image processing allows the user to vary the

X-Ray setting on a large scale while the image quality remains virtually the same

(possibility of reducing the dosage).

• Bones and soft tissue in one image - this enables the user to significantly improve his

diagnosis.

• Details of bones and microstructures are very easy to recognise.

• Noise suppression.

• Black mask (automatic shutters).

• Cropping of images (crop function).

• Automatic removal of grid lines when using fixed grids.

Investment Protection:
If you wish to create your X-Ray images with a flat panel system (DR= Direct Radiography) at a later stage,
you only have to exchange the FireCR+ CR system for a flat panel, dicomPACS®DX-R is already
designed to implement such a connection. You will not need to purchase new software or to get used to a
new user interface.

This is what we call investment protection.

Built-In Flexibility!
The dicomPACS®DX-R software already includes all functions necessary to store X-Ray images and
provide them to other workstations as a standard feature. Other workstations in your practices network
may load these images directly and display them. This requires just one “dicomPACS® Diagnostic
Module Standard” (optional extra) per workstation. Of course, the images can also be sent to an
existing PACS system.
