A unique reading mechanism brings a tremendous 210 sheets per hour of processing performance.
And, the reader is equipped with various latest technologies, such as, a NEW X-RAY DETECTOR, the highest solution for ultimate diagnostic imaging.

Utilizing a unique dual bay design,the high speed reader of REGIUS Model 190 processes up to 90 plates per hour for maximum performance. This next generation reader radically improves workflow all within a mere 58×58 cm footprint.

X-Ray Absorption: Using ideally selected substances ad the fluorescent material allows maximum use of the X-ray information while eliminating unnecessary losses.
Fluorescent Layer Structure: Columnar fiber crystal structure allows superior efficiency in the release of X-ray information. Of special interest is the X-ray information located at the lower layer which can now be fully utilized.

In order to reduce the X-ray scatter at the inner wall of the reader (detector), which is the main reason of lowering the image contrast, a lead sheet is attached to the back of the detector. As a result, contrast deterioration is limited to the minimum, and stable imaging quality is ensured.
REGIUS 370 offers two types of sampling pitches, i.e. 87.5µm and 175µm. Selecting the sampling pitch suitable to the body part or diagnostic purposes allows producing the images with the best- suited resolution.
REGIUS 370 offers flexible operation in various exposures for different body parts. In addition, excellent erasure characteristics of New Plate achieve reliable exposures repeated at the speed of 210 plates/hr.
Operation panels are located on the right and left panels of the REGIUS 370. The operation panel allows the operator staying in the X-ray room to change the exposure size, orientation and center position that have been set in advance. Indicator window is located at the user’s eye level, which enhances the reliability of the examination through indication of the patient's ID numbers and names.
REGIUS 370 inherited the features that are common to all REGIUS series, where the detector is kept out of physical contact with any component all through reading to erasure process. Avoidance of Physical contact made possible by this mechanism eliminates scratches possibly caused by transportation, thus satisfactory images are ensured. In addition, prolonged lifetime of the detector is appreciated for its contribution to lower operating costs.
REGIUS 370 is designed with patient care in mind. This is the reason for its graceful design. In addition, considering the situation where the wheel-chaired patient needs to be X-rayed a knee-detector switch is provided. This detector bar is extended through to the edge of the side panel so that it detects without failure.
REGIUS 370 adopted “Direct Read Mechanism” which has been inherited through REGIUS series, where an X-ray detector built in the reader is scanned while the optical unit is moving across the plate. With the reading mechanism unique to KonicaMinolta, the X-rayed image starts showing simultaneously as it is exposed, enabling image verification in seconds.
