Philips DigitalDiagnost C90
Manufacturer: Philips · Modality: Digital Radiography
Current-generation Philips premium digital radiography room. Ceiling-suspended tube with Eleva head (integrated touchscreen and live camera), height-adjustable imaging table, motorized wall stand, and SkyPlate wireless detectors. Positioned as Philips' top general-radiography installation for high-throughput hospital and imaging-center departments. Also marketed under the Radiography 7000 C global product name.
Platform architecture
- Ceiling-suspended tube column with Eleva head — the tube column carries a touchscreen operator interface at the tube head, along with a live video camera that assists collimation and positioning. Philips OEM claims the live camera + Eleva head shortens exam time by ~28 seconds per examination by reducing the back-and-forth between technologist and patient.
- Eleva workflow — the software layer shared across Philips X-ray modalities. Customizable presets, DICOM Modality Worklist integration, radiation dose tracking, auto-positioning presets, and patient-focused workflow automation.
- SkyPlate wireless detectors — portable cesium iodide (CsI) amorphous-silicon flat-panel detectors; 35 × 43 cm (14 × 17″) active size, 2330 × 2846 pixel matrix, 148 µm pixel pitch. The SkyPlate is common across the Philips DR portfolio (DigitalDiagnost, MobileDiagnost).
- Wall stand with integrated 17 × 17″ fixed detector — handles chest / upright work; supports stitched long-bone and long-spine acquisitions.
- Height-adjustable imaging table — accommodates standing-assist, stretcher-transfer, and bariatric patient populations. Table tray accepts the wireless SkyPlate.

Clinical positioning
- High-volume general radiography — chest, abdomen, MSK, pediatrics, trauma.
- Emergency department — the ceiling-suspended tube + wall stand + wireless detector workflow handles ER throughput with minimal patient positioning changes.
- Inpatient radiography rooms — shares the SkyPlate detector ecosystem with portable MobileDiagnost units, letting the same detectors flow between rooms and portables.
- Bariatric and mobility-limited patients — height-adjustable table and stretcher-transfer workflow.
Relationship to siblings
- EasyDiagnost — R/F (radiography + fluoroscopy) system. Different modality class; not a DR replacement.
- MobileDiagnost wireless portable DR family — shares the SkyPlate detector ecosystem.
- Legacy CR / CR-replacement — DigitalDiagnost is the platform facilities transition to when retiring CR-based general radiography.
Regulatory
- FDA 510(k) cleared (FDA 510(k)).
- IEC 60601 class — see IEC 60601.
- State radiation registration required per jurisdiction (state radiation registration).
