Argentina: Pioneers in the Use of Dynamic Digital Radiography
The Experience in Tucumán
Centro radiológico Méndez Collado, located in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán, incorporated Konica Minolta Healthcare's KDR U-Arm system, becoming one of the institutions in Argentina that already offers Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR).
This technology expands the possibilities of conventional digital radiography by enabling the acquisition of moving images. Thanks to this capability, DDR can be applied to swallowing studies, dynamic evaluations of the chest, and certain urological procedures, among other clinical areas.
The addition of the KDR U-Arm in Tucumán represents a new step in the expansion of DDR in Argentina, bringing this innovative tool closer to professionals and patients in the northwest of the country. Together with other institutions that already have this technology, such as Sanatorio Finochietto, it reflects the growing interest in new applications of digital radiography in clinical practice.
Argentine Congress of Radiology
From September 24 to 26, 2026, CADI 2026 will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There, Agimed, one of our official distributors for the southern country, will be demonstrating DDR technology.
Stop by and say hello at booth n.49!
Versatility Reflected in Different DDR Applications
Unlike conventional radiography, DDR makes it possible to observe the body's dynamic functions, offering a new diagnostic dimension that combines static and dynamic imaging in a single tool. This allows it to meet the needs of specialties such as:
- Pulmonology: functional evaluation of breathing and thoracic dynamics.
- Orthopedics and Rheumatology: evaluation of joint mobility and kinematics during movement and load.
- Cardiology and General Medicine: dynamic evaluation of thoracic structures and detection of changes related to movement and hemodynamics.
- Pediatrics: follow-up of thoracic and spinal deformities, such as scoliosis, through dynamic studies with lower radiation exposure.
DDR from Academia
Did you know that DDR combines high-speed engineering with advanced processing algorithms to capture up to 15 radiographs per second, each with diagnostic quality and a reduced dose?
This year, SAR and FAARDIT invited Dr. Samuel Espinoza Tristán to CADI. He is a pediatric radiologist at Centro de Radiodiagnóstico e Imagen Monterrey and at Hospital ISSSTE Regional in Mexico.
During his participation at CADI, Dr. Espinoza Tristán will address the use of DDR in his clinical practice. Here are some of his talks:
September 24
9:00 a.m. Dynamic Digital Radiography, an alternative to fluoroscopy in contrast studies.
3:00 p.m. Gastroenterology and pediatric radiology, a clear diagnostic alliance. Evaluating the gastrointestinal tract.
Location: Room C1
