Description
Automated Stitching
Long-length exams are automated. With the patient in position, either at the wall stand or on the table, the technologist utilizes the tube head controls to mark the top and bottom of the anatomy to be imaged. The system then calculates the number of exposures needed, and correct image overlaps. With the patient remaining in place, the technologist holds the exposure switch, and the system makes the first exposure, repositions the tube angle and detector, exposes, and continues until the full anatomy is imaged. The system then automatically stitches the images to present an integrated long-length image.
Flexible Positioning
The OTC18S ceiling-mounted tube crane highlights an advanced, technologist-friendly touchscreen interface providing seamless operation of your radiographic system by displaying tube angulation, SID values, and customizable generator controls. Color-coded movement identification buttons provide optimal precision when setting up views. Effortless movements enable fast and secure adjustments of the tube head while electromagnetic braking provides quiet and secure locking. Its five-tier telescoping column delivers exceptional vertical movement of 71 in (180 cm), capable of performing complete head-to-toe radiographic procedures including upright weight-bearing and recumbent tabletop exams.
Ergonomic Tube Head Design

Collimator Light is Automatically ActivatedWith tube, vertical table, and wall stand movement, or by pressing any movement button
Stitching ControlsWith long length exam selected, the technologist selects the top of the anatomy, the bottom, and selects start. The exam is automatically performed, and a long-length image is stitched
Auto-Collimation
Accelerates patient positioning and reduces radiation exposure by automatically selecting the proper field of view for each body part. During stitching studies, the OTC18S with DELWORKS DR software optimizes collimation settings to acquire images with minimal overlap for reduced patient exposure.
EV800T Elevating Table
The motorized receptor of the EV800T enables synchronization and longitudinal tube tracking. The elevating four-way float top table delivers outstanding safety, durability, and usability. Featuring an exclusive four-point lift system and exceptionally quiet motor drive, its smooth, scratch-resistant tabletop lowers to a height of just 22 in (56 cm) to ensure stress-free patient transfers and adjustments. Offering a high patient weight capacity of up to 800 lbs (363 kg), stable continuous movement is possible through conveniently placed recessed foot treadles and table-side controls, suitable for increasing technologist performance and satisfaction.
VT300T Tilting Wall Stand
The motorized receptor of the VT300T enables synchronization and vertical tracking to the x-ray tube and provides quiet and effortless positioning. The wall stand features a tilting image receptor, promoting comfort and precision for standing or seated examinations. This makes the VT300T accommodating to all users regardless of size or strength.
Rotating Tray (Optional)
The easy-to-use rotating tray enables manual rotation of the DR detector. The stable one-handed operation supports fast portrait-to-landscape positioning without ever removing the detector from the tray. Fully extended steel slides activate locking mechanisms to assure detector protection when loading and unloading — designed to accommodate a wide array of ISO 14 x 17 in (35 x 43 cm) cassette-sized detectors.
Patient Stitching Stand (Optional)
The DEL MEDICAL Patient Stitching Stand’s simple and sleek design improves efficiencies and outcomes at an affordable price. The stand helps keep the patient immobile during multiple or single exposures. With four 360° lockable swivel casters, height adjustable handles, and a slim lightweight design, this immobilization device can be easily placed in position and removed for storage. The Patient Stitching Stand also may be equipped with a radiopaque ruler to help verify stitching accuracy.
