To achieve the high quality of DR and good operability
of CR, Konica Minolta's answer is AeroDR.

High Image Quality

& Reliability & Durable

WIRELESS DETECTOR
 High image quality. Lower dose.

Superior Direct Contact technology

Most digital detectors incorporate a protective layer between the CsI (Cesium Iodide) scintillator and the
Direct
Contact
photodiodes of the TFT (Thin Film Transistor) sensor panel. This causes light to disperse, resulting in a loss of
image quality. Konica Minolta s unique Direct Contact technology minimises light dispersal thus ensuring
optimum image sharpness.

Our unique Direct Contact technology, combined with the latest low noise
readout integrated circuitry, delivers an excellent DQE (Detective Quantum 2

Power-saving, patient safety technology

To improve patient safety, Konica Minolta have sourced the world s newest battery technology for the
Gets around More control AeroDR panel. Our unique low power consuming panel design combined with a lithium ion capacitor

ensures long battery life and quick recharging. Lithium ion capacitors don t overheat unlike conven-
tional lithium ion batteries.

Lightweight Rigid body

The battery lasts as long as the panel

Conventional batteries need to be changed after about a year. Our new lithium ion capacitors last as
long as the panel. Which means there is no need for exchanging the battery. Which in turn allows us
to make the panel case lighter and stronger.

Long operating time, recharges quicker Characteristics

Battery life cycle
Apart from a long life expectancy, our new generation battery technology has a long operating time life cycle
of approximately 200 images per 5.5 hours. Recharging is impressively quick, from empty to full in Charging time 30 minutes with
only 30 minutes. And in an emergency, the battery can regain enough charge to process at least 10 empty to full battery charger

Lightweight. Durable.

World s lightest at panel detector

At 2.9 kg, AeroDR is simply the lightest of its type in the world. This,
combined with its wireless capability, makes it uniquely portable
and exible, giving technologists considerably more freedom in
how they choose to work.

Incredibly strong monocoque construction Sealed and protected scintillator

Since the battery doesn t need to be replaced, the case never
needs to be opened. As a result, we ve been able to build it from
tough carbon bre using a rigid monocoque design. Ensuring
trouble-free operation even when subjected to substantial load or
shock. Astonishingly, the load bearing performance of AeroDR is
the same as that of our CR cassettes.
Konica Minolta produces its own CsI scintillator and have created a
more ecient design. This double glass design provides a three-
fold benet: it enhances the load-bearing performance, it prevents
the scintillator edge from being deformed by everyday knocks and
bumps, and it protects the TFT sensor panel from breakage.
