QUEST HF SERIES DESIGNED FOR THE CHIROPRACTIC FACILITY

THE QUEST HF SERIES ™ The QUEST HF Series provides an innovative solution for today’s challenges in radiographic imaging. Merging sophisticated technology and system architecture with a simple, menu-driven program, the design team at Quantum Medical Imaging has addressed the concerns of technologists and clinicians.

The QUEST HF’s ULTRA High frequency technology permits a near-constant potential of up to 120 kHz, for highly efficient, superbly precise imaging. A simple operating program, with integrated user prompts, permits a wide range of routine, specialized and custom examinations.

The QUEST HF Series generator offers superior flexibility and user-friendliness for complete, high quality radiographic imaging without compromise.

ADVANCED FEATURES• Three discrete modes of operation with 2 advanced submodes for optimized imaging: • APR (Anatomical Programmed Radiography) - APR/AEC - APR/PATIENT TYPE • AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) • Manual • Multi-language selection feature for APR Mode • Integrated self-diagnostic and self-test programs indicate system performance and detailed history• X-ray tube protection circuitry• Automatic line voltage compensation• RS-232 interface enables remote functions • Automatic shut-off timer (variable time settings)• Generator and X-ray tube exposure counter• X-Ray Tube Anode "Heat Unit" monitor• Contemporary and compact design

SUPERIOR IMAGING TECHNOLOGY...120 KHZ ULTRA HIGH FREQUENCY• Near constant potential of up to 120 kHz operating frequency• ULTRA high frequency imaging enables greater efficiency, shorter exposure time, and minimized patient dose• Output ranges of 50 kW through 20 kW (and up to 150 kVp) satisfies varying imaging requirements • Stored Energy models (40kW - 20 kW) enable operation using low amperage or alternate power sources

120 kHz ULTRA High Frequency X-Ray Technology Specialized Chiropractic APR Programs

Quantum’s advanced Stored Energy (SE) technology permits powerful operation using only a standard “low amperage” wall outlet or alternate power source. The SE’s power cells are virtually maintenance-free and provide years of usage. These units are ideal in facilities where incoming power is unavailable and for mobile imaging applications.

These parameters include kVp, mA, time (mAs), focas spot, film speed, SID and imaging receptor. In addition, the operator may input the actual patient thickness (in cm’s) providing the optional technique parameters for that exam.
