Have it all-in-one
Whatever your application - from CT/MR and CR/DR, all the way to digital angiography, PET, ultrasound or digital subtraction fluoroscopy - DRYSTAR 5503 has got you covered. And you won’t have to sacrifice other advantages: DRYSTAR 5503 gives you the high-throughput, multi-format architecture and high quality DDI images you need from your centralized hardcopy imager. Why sacrifice quality for flexibility or speed for ease-of-use? The three multi-format trays offer one great answer for versatility, convenience and efficiency.
Any type of media, any size of media - any tray!
Each tray is continuously available, and the sorter keeps everything organized. Every input tray can use five different media formats, ranging from 8 x 10 inch to 14 x 17 inch, for remarkable versatility. No more hardcopy traffic jams, no more bottlenecks - just a smooth, efficient workflow, for all your modalities.
It’s all-in-one: fulfilling all your requirements from just one imager.
Mammography quality - automatically
You want to know how good DRYSTAR 5503 is? With its 508 ppi resolution and A#Sharp technology, DRYSTAR 5503 produces images so good, you can use them for digital mammography. And with the DRYSTAR 5503 Mammo option, use our dedicated DT2 Mammo media for high image quality, meeting all mammography standards. A built-in, automatic quality assurance tool helps you with your quality checks. The DRYSTAR 5503 can print up to 120 8 x 10 inch Mammo sheets per hour, fitting easily into an environment with several modalities.
10 x 12 inch media and 11 x 14 inch media sizes are also available for mammography. How can you refuse an option like this?
Simple and straightforward
Simplicity has its own beauty. With Direct Digital Imaging technology, there are no complex or expensive moving optical parts. It’s fast, clean, environmentally-friendly and reduces wear and tear on your equipment. Best of all, it is one of the best ways of translating the high-resolution capability of 508 ppi at a spot size of 50 μm to a final image.
508 ppi corresponds in a one-to-one ratio with the highest resolution digitizers, which have a scan resolution of 50 μm. As the imager resolution is equal to the digitizer’s scan resolution, no image interpolation is necessary. Thus, no image artifacts are introduced in the image. It’s the most efficient resolution possible.
Agfa’s DDI has been enhanced to include A#Sharp technology, for even sharper image quality. Equipped with this powerful combination, the DRYSTAR 5503 performs well beyond current industry standards, providing every pixel in the image is fully softwarecontrolled for virtually flawless and consistent image quality.
The imager that fits right in DRYSTAR 5503 has been designed to integrate into your facility without any bumps or interruptions.
It can connect directly with multiple radiology units on-line, or with non-DICOM compliant modalities by using the Paxport gateway. Total daylight media handling during loading or maintenance increases the ease of use and comfort while reducing costs.
With its combination of DDI technology, media and imaging, it is the ideal imager to integrate at the heart of a complete Agfa radiology solution.
The proof is in the details
Real quality is found in attention to details.
The DRYSTAR 5503 offers the details needed to make it a truly all-in-one, top-of-the-line imager.
It handles both blue base (DRYSTAR DT2 B) and clear base (DRYSTAR DT2 C) media in 5 different sizes: 8 x 10 inch, 10 x 12 inch, 11 x 14 inch, 14 x 14 inch and 14 x 17 inch. With the Mammo option, it also accepts DRYSTAR DT2 Mammo media in three sizes: 8 x 10 inch, 10 x 12 inch, 11 x 14 inch.
You can have any three media on-line at the same time, but keep the output sorted by modality. With DRYSTAR 5503, the details make the difference.
Combining quality and flexibility in the DRYSTAR 5503 is not an option!
It’s built right in.

The compact imager with full flexibility

DRYSTAR AXYS is the new axis for digital radiography workflows, including for mammography imaging. Its small footprint covers a wealth of potential. Whether you need a centralized or a dedicated printer, the DRYSTAR AXYS will fit right in. It has two on-line media trays that can handle all types of media in all sizes available, while the daylight media handling makes it easy and convenient to load.
The compact size lets you use it wherever you need it, but the smart modular design provides the reliability you have come to expect from all Agfa HealthCare imagers. It is also the only table-top imager available capable of printing Mammography quality images. And wait until you see how quickly you get your images! You will be holding your first print only seconds after the image is taken. With the DRYSTAR AXYS, every department can enjoy the benefits of a reliable, flexible, compact imager.

Mammography quality, really fast

Finally, high-quality Mammography images from a compact, table-top imager! The DRYSTAR AXYS gives you a high resolution of 508 ppi, which perfectly matches the 50 μm modality resolution of the highest resolution CR digitizers. This one-to-one ratio provides that the imager resolution is equal to the digitizer’s scan resolution, so no image interpolation is necessary, and no image artifacts are introduced. It is the most efficient resolution possible, providing the excellent image quality required for diagnostic Mammography images.
And with the ultra-short access time for the first four prints, plus the efficient throughput, even the Mammography department can enjoy increased productivity along with all the benefits of table-top imaging.

A smart technology choice and a true family resemblance

The DRYSTAR AXYS may be compact, but it is a fullfledged member of the Agfa HealthCare DRYSTAR family, and has all the family characteristics. These include the highly reliable modular design, as well as the Direct Digital Imaging Technology (DDI)    that provides fast, clean, environmentally-friendly usage, with no complex or expensive moving parts to maintain. It is easier to use, with no wet processing, darkroom, complicated adjustments or cleaning procedures, and more reliable, for greater
availability whenever you need it.
Direct Digital Imaging is also one of the best ways of combining the quality of 508 ppi at a spot size of 50 μm within a compact imager, providing the mammography-level image quality of this tabletop imager. And with the A#Sharp technology included, the enhanced imaging capability of the Direct Digital Imaging provides sharper image quality across all your applications.
The combination of its small size, ease of use, reliability, quality and flexibility make it the right imager to use – anywhere you need it.

Fits anywhere and everywhere.

DRYSTAR AXYS fits perfectly into any type of facility, from smaller clinics with limited space, to larger hospitals with many departments. Use it in a centralized imaging environment to support abroad range of applications, including CT, MR, DSA and US, as well as CR/DR applications for GenRad, Mammography, Orthopaedics, Dental Imaging and more.
Or use it as a dedicated departmental imager, so that any department can take advantage of its many benefits. With the DRYSTAR AXYS, the question is not whether to use it, but how to use it – and all the choices are yours!

The right connection

DRYSTAR AXYS not only fits in almost any space, it also integrates right into your facility. The DICOM-native imager makes network connectivity easy.
It can also be used with LINX Paxport, for point-topoint connectivity with non-DICOM modalities. It will blend in with your facility so quickly, you won’t feel the slightest bump or interruption.

The media type and size you need, with daylight handling

The DRYSTAR AXYS’s two on-line media trays provide you greater flexibility and usability. Both handle all media types and sizes, when and where you need them, with easy daylight handling. You can use blue base (DRYSTAR DT2 B) and clear base (DRYSTAR DT2 C) media in five different sizes: 8 x 10 inch, 10 x 12 inch, 11 x 14 inch, 14 x 14 inch and 14 x 17 inch. The imager can also handle DT2 Mammo media in 8 x 10 inch, 10 x 12 inch and 11 x 14 inch.
Whatever media you need, DRYSTAR AXYS makes it convenient and accessible!
