These included the following: symptomatic presentations, imaging modalities, and other. It also noted that discordant detection method assignments were caused by mistaking a symptomatic presentation for an imaging modality (8/13) or mistaking an imaging modality for another imaging modality (5/13).

Konica Minolta Celebrates 150 Years of Imaging Excellence

Imaging Technology

Konica Minolta is expanding the clinical utility of DR with Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR), the next generation of digital X-ray, adding dynamic imaging to a static imaging modality. DDR is made possible in part due to the high-definition imaging capabilities of the AeroDR flat panel detector technology.
