(GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies: Billerica, MA) -- Weighing just 13 lb (6 kg), the DXR250V is the latest lightweight and portable digital radiography tool from GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies. In the past, the use of digital radiography (DR) has been limited due to size, weight, and connectivity of the equipment.  With DXR250V, DR users have the benefit of shorter shot times and minimal radiation exposure in applications that were previously limited to computed radiography or film. The DXR250V can easily connect to a laptop computer and produce images for instant review with GE’s Rhythm software, providing significant gains in productivity. Key applications include field inspections in the oil and gas, aerospace, and power generation sectors.

“The benefits of digital radiography, such as eliminating the chemicals and reducing radiation exposure through shorter exposure times, can now be used in a much wider range of applications with the DXR250V,” says Shana Telesz, product manager at GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies. “The ability to use digital radiography in areas where it was previously impossible is an important step in the conversion from film to digital radiography.”
