Reveal™ Portable Package 35C-Dragon
For timely and accurate bedside imaging. Our ultra portable solution with Reveal™ 35C andSpectralDR® technology.
The Reveal™ Portable Package 35C-Dragon is an Analog Portable X-Ray Unit with Detector Retrofit. It combines the light weight of the Dragon X SPSL-HF-4.0 portable source with the exclusive single exposure dual-energy capabilities of KA Imaging’s Reveal™ 35C, powered by SpectralDR® technology. The package includes the Dragon portable source, the Reveal™ 35C detector with accessories and a laptop.
This affordable ultra-portable X-ray bundle goes beyond conventional imaging, providing clinicians with invaluable clinical insights for informed decision-making.
Timely and accurate bedside imaging: an ever-present need
Timely and accurate bedside imaging is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment. Sometimes, care is needed in areas that lack the traditional hospital infrastructure. Remote locations, disaster response, mass casualty incidents, you name it: the demand for accessible imaging solutions is ever-present.
Urban areas have their own challenges: critical care and emergency medicine, surgical procedures, long term homes and geriatric care, sports medicine and rehabilitation. The low mobility temporarily or permanently faced by patients requires high-quality imaging – preferably avoiding patient transport inside the hospital or other facilities.
The Reveal™ Portable Package 35C-Dragon is as a solution that can be easily deployed in a variety of environments, making it ideal for efficient healthcare delivery.

Literature
SpectralDR® technology: supplemental subtracted images for better decision-making on the move
In addition to the DR, the SpectralDR® technology in the Reveal™ 35C detector offers quick access to supplemental bone and soft tissue images. No extra radiation is needed: all three images are created simultaneously with a single standard X-ray dose.
Get the most of your mobile X-ray system particularly in challenging environments like the ICU or the Emergency Room – where transporting patients carries clinical and operational hazards, increasing the chances of adverse events.
Dual-energy images are clinically proven1 to enhance the visualization of lung nodules, pneumonia, line and tube tips, pneumothorax, retained surgical objects and more.
Clinical Case
Discover a Hidden Focal Opacity in a Portable X-ray
This is a 51-year-old female leukemia (AML) patient. First, the conventional DR X-Ray was read as normal. After seeing the soft tissue image, the radiologist said they now noticed a highlighted focal opacity indicative of pneumonia (confirmed on CT). The diagnosis was confirmed positive for febrile neutropenic pneumonia.

Clinical Case
Better Line Delineation at the Bedside with no additional software
Portable imaging is taken to a new level with the ability to quickly and efficiently allow physicians to verify proper line and tube placements, at no extra dose to the patient, nor the need of add-on software. Take note of the high level of detail exhibited in the vascular wire mesh.
