Reveal™ 35C X-ray Detector
Upgrade Your Existing X-ray System with SpectralDR® Dual-Energy Imaging
Reveal™ 35C is the first and only single-exposure SpectralDR® detector, delivering dual-energy images — standard DR, bone, and soft tissue — without the workflow disruptions or limitations of traditional dual-energy systems. With a single exposure, free from motion artifacts, Reveal™ 35C can perform any X-ray exam or positioning requirement, upgrading your imaging capabilities without adding dose or complexity.

Reveal™ 35C works with your current protocols and workflow — then gives you the power to optimize based on your diagnostic needs.
Reveal 35C can be used for general radiography applications. Studies have shown benefits in assessing lung conditions such as pneumonia and pneumothorax, as well as in visualizing lung lesions and confirming line or tube placement — all without additional scans, dose, or hardware.
Independent researchers are also investigating emerging applications like the visualization of coronary calcium10,11,12.
Key Features
SpectralDR® technology:
1 exposure, 3 images, 0 motion artifacts
Cassette-size: 14 x 17 inch / 35 x 43 cm (ISO 4090) for seamless upgrade
Triple-layer detector design delivers a DQE of 67% at 1 lp/mm — up to 30% higher than typical DR panels.

Why choose dual-energy (Spectral) X-ray?
SpectralDR® technology enables simultaneous acquisition of:
Standard X-ray
Soft tissue image
Bone image
—all from a single exposure using a standard X-ray dose.
Dual-energy images are clinically proven1 to:
Improve visibility of lung nodules, pneumonia, pneumothorax, and calcifications
Provide clearer identification of lines, tubes, and retained surgical objects
Improve image clarity without increasing dose or scan time
Impact and ROI
See how integrating dual-energy mobile X-ray could help reduce downstream imaging costs, support earlier, more confident diagnoses, and improve resource utilization in critical care settings.
Clinical Case
Reveal™ 35C with SpectralDR® technology brings dual-energy imaging to any compatible X-ray system. Whether in general radiography, emergency care, or critical care units, the ability to capture standard, bone, and soft tissue images in a single exposure works with your current protocols and workflow — then gives you the power to optimize based on your diagnostic needs.
Hidden Pneumonia Detection
A 51-year-old leukemia patient had a normal DR image. The soft tissue image revealed a focal opacity, later confirmed as pneumonia on CT, showing how dual-energy imaging can reveal findings standard X-ray may miss.
DR/SoftTissue Image

DR/ Soft Tissue Image
Visualization of calcifications
Lateral dual-energy bone image shows visible calcified coronary vessels, along with a PortoCath line, sternum, and sternal wire ties — all in a single exposure with Reveal™ 35C and SpectralDR® technology.
DR/Bone Image

Hidden mass Obscured by Degenerative Bone Disease
DR/SoftTissue Image

DR/ Soft Tissue Image
Better Line Placement Confirmation
Spectral dual-energy bone images provide clear visualization of vascular wire mesh and tube tips — without extra software, dose, or delay.

without extra reading times⁵
Reveal 35C intended use: The Reveal 35C Flat Panel Detector (FPD), when used with a radiographic imaging system, is intended to generate radiographic images of human anatomy wherever a conventional screen-film, digital radiography (DR), or computed radiography (CR) detector is used for general purposes. Reveal 35C is designed to retrofit into an existing X-ray system, and for integration into a complete X-ray system by a qualified system integrator. When the dual energy subtraction function is enabled, it is intended to assist the physician through the visualization of anomalies by reducing the visibility of underlying or overlying anatomical structures. This device is not intended for use in mammography applications.
