DR and CR for small animal, specialty and equine practice. Choose a complete room, upgrade the table you own, or take the generator to the patient.
Premium 17x17 cesium DR imaging, a high-frequency generator, a four-way float table and a heads-up touchscreen, installed and trained by IWV. Built for small animal practices from one to fifteen veterinarians.
Go digital on the room you already have, or carry a 25 lb generator to the barn.
Flat panel DR that fits most existing tables. Lower cost to go digital.
16-bit CR, processed images in 30 seconds, works with your current table.
25 lb, battery powered, 100 kV / 40 mA. Built for large animal and mobile practice.

Start with the room. Keeping a compatible existing table can lower the out-of-pocket investment when going digital. The IWV FP flat panel works with most existing tables, and the IWV CR eco works with your current x-ray table. If you are building or replacing the room, System X delivers table, generator, detector and workstation as one installed system.
Then count the minutes. CR processes a plate in about 30 seconds after you carry the cassette to the reader. System X shows the image in 2 to 5 seconds and the IWV FP captures in 3 to 5 seconds, so retakes happen while the patient is still positioned and under anesthesia for less time.
Check the power. System X runs on a dedicated 110 V, 20 A circuit. Compared with competing 220 V systems, System X saves $3,000 to $8,000 or more in electrical installation, per IWV.
Plan for where the patient is. Equine and ambulatory vets need the generator to travel. The Ultra Light portable weighs 25 lb, runs on a battery and works with IWV DR panels, CR cassettes or film.
Insist on one source. IWV does not hand installation, training or support to contractors. When the company that sold the system also installs and supports it, nobody can point at someone else.

Digital radiography (DR) captures the x-ray image on a flat panel detector and sends it straight to a computer, usually in seconds. Computed radiography (CR) uses a reusable phosphor plate in a cassette that is scanned by a reader. Both replace film, chemistry and the darkroom.
No. The IWV FP flat panel and the IWV CR eco both work with most existing tables. System X is the choice when you want a complete new room with table, generator and detector installed together.
IWV System X runs on a dedicated 110 V, 20 A circuit. Compared with competing 220 V systems, System X saves $3,000 to $8,000 or more in electrical installation, per IWV.
Yes. System X and the IWV CR eco are DICOM 3.0 compatible, so images can be sent within your hospital or to a teleradiology service or specialist anywhere.
