You can monitor automatic processing of the image and, thanks to barcoding, the image will always be saved to the correct patient file. The processed image is quickly available and image thumbnails ensure easy navigation.you can then manipulate the images and automatically export them to PACS or the printer once the examination is complete. At the same time, the system can automatically send examination information back to the RIS. Your work becomes easier Benefit from a clear user interface available as a touch screen to make things even more convenient. All functions such as automatic rotation and shuttering are intuitive. PCR Eleva is designed around your needs and adapts to the way you work. Experience also just how easy customized exporting and virtual image hanging can be.

Configuration at a glance One PCR Eleva reader per room Share information with every reader Use any reader in a cluster Full functionality at each workspot Tube Your reader-p set-up Bucky table Generator Eleva workspot Reader: PCR Eleva S / PCR Eleva S Plus Generator Tube Eleva workspot Reader: PCR Eleva S / PCR Eleva S Plus Vertical stand PCR Eleva S and PCR Eleva S Plus For decentralized installation, you can choose between two compact, spacesaving, one-slot readers.while PCR Eleva S delivers up to 78 plates per hour, PCR Eleva S Plus allows for throughput of up to 97 plates per hour.this means that you can use just one PCR Eleva S Plus for two rooms. Eleva concept Data from the RIS is automatically interpreted, adjusting parameters to those Eleva presets which meet the requirements of the corresponding examination. Just another example of PCR Eleva s timesaving, seamless integration. Direct solution, direct functionality Having one reader available for each examination room will minimize walking distances for the technologist. It gives each room complete, direct functionality since every reader is combined with PCR Eleva workspots. As a result, you can carry out any function in every room, including exam scheduling, image processing, quality verification and exporting. In addition, you can cluster your readers so that they can be used from any workspot in the cluster. Images will be shown on the workspot that initiates the examination and all other readers can serve as alternate readouts or backups, giving you more flexibility and security. 6
er-room Take a close look at your workflow needs and you might decide that Philips reader-per-room set-up is the right choice for you.

Unique possibilities with UNIQUE PCR Eleva comes with UNIQUE advanced processing software.with UNIQUE, you can expect consistently high resolution image quality right from the start with all diagnostic information in a single image. High-end solution, high performance After using your central Philips multislot reader, the image follows the user and is available at the workspot where the examination was initiated.there, the processed image can be viewed immediately. If you value high-speed digitalization, PCR Eleva Corado and PCR Eleva CosimaX with their four slots are the right readers for you. On top of all the Corado features, the CosimaX provides simultaneous dual side reading of small imaging plates, resulting in a 50% increase in detective quantum efficiency (DQE).Therefore the CosimaX is ideal for low X-ray dose pediatrics and, combined with the 50µm pixel size, also for high resolution mammography. *For mammography or pediatrics, facilities with lower throughput requirements may also use PCR Eleva S Hi-res, which offers the same benefits with single-slot reading. 8
p All Rad Room departments have different requirements. That s why Philips offers an alternative configuration consisting of one central multi-slot reader and several PCR Eleva workspots. Thanks to PCR Eleva s network compatibility, you can round off this set-up by seamlessly integrating it into your hospital s IT environment.
