Naturally, the clinician always decides whether or not to use a grid. When working without a grid, SkyFlow
processing can enhance bedside and trolley chest exam workflow. Philips’ scatter correction technology for
portable thorax X-rays provides grid-like image contrast without actually using one. By combining the large
SkyPlate with SkyFlow, your facility will be able to work quickly and conveniently by avoiding the time and effort
of attaching and detaching a grid.

SkyFlow key advantages
• Save time with gridless workflow and benefit from fully
automatic image contrast enhancement
• Achieve excellent image quality for all patient types,
including bariatric
• Focus fully on the patient with short exam times, and
comfortable positioning

SkyPlate

X-ray system

Point-to-point connection
• The SkyPlate uses a dedicated, secure point-to-point
connection to the X-ray system independent of the
hospital IT infrastructure
• X-ray generation and the SkyPlate are synchronized in
real-time
Data security
• Only raw image data is transmitted to the X-ray system –
not individually identifiable patient information
• Patient information is assigned automatically at the Eleva
workspot of the host system

Image data is securely transmitted to the Eleva workspot

Find more detailed IT information on the SkyPlate to X-ray
system connection on page 14.

Place your trust in securely
transferred images
SkyPlate connection to X-ray system

Images taken with a SkyPlate have the same quality standards as X-rays generated with fixed detectors. Certain
features are designed to help prevent double exposures and scattered radiation. After you have completed the
exam, the SkyPlate images are securely transferred to the Eleva workstation, ready for further analysis.

SkyPlate

X-ray system

Image information
• All image information is available, including dose parameters
and exposure settings
• The Dose Area Product per image is displayed at the PACS
and reported to the RIS via DICOM Modality Performed
Procedure Step (MPPS) or to a dedicated dose management
tool using DICOM Structured Reporting format; for
MobileDiagnost wDR, as well as ProGrade with non-sensing
Bucky units, this functions with an added DAP meter
Image availability
• Every image acquired is always stored in the SkyPlate
memory until the data has been transmitted securely to
the Eleva workspot; therefore, images can’t get lost
• A pre-image is available just 3 seconds after pressing the
exposure button
• You can view the full image after several seconds depending
on your system

No double exposure
• Thanks to the connection between the generator and the
SkyPlate, you can only take an exposure when the SkyPlate
is ready; this helps to avoid double exposures
No scattered radiation
• Due to its real-time connection to the system, the SkyPlate
is ready to acquire an image just before exposure
• Therefore, the SkyPlate can remain in the DR room
because it won’t be exposed to scattered radiation from
other exams

SkyPlate sharing
• System requirements: needs to be
equipped with a software release capable
of SkyPlate sharing (DigitalDiagnost 4.0,
DuraDiagnost 3.0, MobileDiagnost wDR 2.0,
ProGrade 1.0, or later)
• A detector needs to be set up for use with
one or more systems; this set-up only needs
to be done once on a single system to give
the detector a unique label number/name
