If the similarities between DRYSTAR imagers are
reassuring, it’s the differences that tell you which
one is right for you. Each satisfies diverse and
specific requirements:
DRYSTAR 5503: Our all-in-one,
centralized imager for all applications
DRYSTAR 5302: Our imager for day-to-day
CR/DR applications
DRYSTAR 5300: The right decentralized imager
for CT/MR applications

Follow the question tree to find the DRYSTAR
imager that fits your needs. Start by choosing a
centralized imaging set-up - with a limited number
of imagers used by multiple departments -
or a decentralized arrangement - with smaller,
specialized imagers available at key locations
throughout your facility. Next, select the
applications you need to run. The question tree
will then illustrate the best Agfa imager for you!
How many media sizes do you want on-line –
1, 2 or 3? What sizes of media do you use:
8 x 10 inch, 10 x 12 inch, 11 x 14 inch, 14 x 14 inch
or 14 x 17 inch? Blue base, clear base or both?
Do you need to make high diagnostic-quality
mammography images?
Your media usage says a lot about your facility and
your imaging needs. Each of our imager trays can
handle different media sizes, ensuring you the
flexibility you want. And with heat-sensitive instead
of light-sensitive media, the imagers offer complete
daylight handling, allowing you to open trays, load
media, etc., without any concerns.
No matter which DRYSTAR hardcopy imager you
use or how you use it, there is a DRYSTAR media
If the DRYSTAR 4500M is the right imager for you,
DRYSTAR Mammo media will give you the optimum
digital mammography imaging you need.
It’s a whole family of media to match our family
of imagers.
