The Agfa DR 800 is a fully integrated digital imaging multitool that optimizes workflow and investment by combining general radiography, fluoroscopy, tomosynthesis and advanced clinical applications in a single room. One investment covers a broad range of exams, removing the need for additional specialty rooms.

Powerful Dynamic MUSICA® image processing assures superb image quality at the lowest possible dose, while remote control, in-room control, auto-positioning, a 180 cm Source Imaging Distance (SID) and radiation-free video positioning enhance patient and operator satisfaction, comfort and safety. Designed in co-operation with leading healthcare providers, the DR 800 was built to meet demanding clinical requirements for optimal operator convenience and the best patient care.
