Unlike traditional mobile X-ray systems that produce a single static image, DDR captures a rapid sequence of images over time, creating a dynamic view of anatomy in motion. This allows clinicians to visualise physiological movement such as lung expansion, diaphragmatic motion and changes in airflow directly at the bedside. The result is functional insight that goes beyond anatomy alone, delivered using a workflow that fits seamlessly into routine radiographic practice.

The AeroDR TX has been designed to make this advanced capability practical in everyday clinical settings. Compact, manoeuvrable and wireless, the system enables radiographers to perform both static and dynamic imaging using the same mobile unit, without transferring patients to an imaging department. This is particularly valuable for critically ill or immobile patients, where minimising movement can reduce risk, improve comfort and save valuable clinical time.

By combining DDR with mobile radiography, AeroDR TX supports more informed clinical decision-making while maintaining low radiation dose and efficient examination times. For imaging teams, the technology feels familiar to use, yet opens the door to new ways of assessing patient physiology, especially in acute and critical care pathways where speed and insight matter most.

To help NHS Trusts fully explore the potential of this technology, HSL is offering an in-Trust education programme titled DDR Insight Event: Mobile X-Ray Education Session. This CPD-accredited session is designed to give radiographers, clinicians and imaging leaders the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with AeroDR TX and understand how Dynamic Digital Radiography can be applied in real clinical scenarios.

Delivered on site at your Trust, the DDR Insight Event combines live system demonstrations with practical discussion around workflows, use cases and clinical benefits. Attendees can engage directly with the technology, ask questions, and build confidence in how DDR could support patient care within their own departments.

By bringing this education directly to Trusts across the UK and Ireland, HSL aims to make next-generation mobile imaging accessible, practical and clinically relevant. Whether your organisation is exploring DDR for the first time or looking to expand its understanding of advanced mobile X-ray capabilities, the DDR Masterclass offers a valuable opportunity to experience this innovation first-hand.

To book a Mobile X-Ray Education Session or to find out more about AeroDR TX, please contact HSL today.

At HSL, we don’t just supply carts — we design, implement, train, and support your entire mobile workstation fleet to make sure it works exactly how you need it to.

Here are six practical ways to make sure your carts help your teams deliver the best possible care — with less hassle and downtime.

Customise for the Way You Work
Every department’s needs are different. Whether you’re using carts for medication, documentation, or vitals, customising each one to match that workflow can save valuable time. HSL works with you to design the right configuration from day one — from clearly labelled drawers to essential tools like barcode scanners and vital sign monitors, all placed within easy reach. We also help you keep things tidy with cord organisers and storage solutions that make sense for your team.

Maximise Battery Life
A dead cart can grind your day to a halt. HSL helps you choose the best battery options and power management solutions for your workflows — including hot-swappable batteries, rotation plans, and firmware updates to boost power efficiency. We design carts with smart power settings so they automatically conserve energy when not in use, extending battery life across your fleet.

Make Carts Part of the Workflow
Your carts should feel like a natural extension of your clinical tools. With HSL’s implementation support, you’ll have carts pre-loaded with the software your teams rely on — from EPR access to PACS — and fast login options like badge readers. We can integrate your carts with automated inventory systems to reduce unnecessary stockroom trips, and recommend cloud-based documentation or wireless printing to streamline daily tasks.

Prioritise Comfort and Safety
Ergonomics protect your staff and help them work comfortably shift after shift. HSL trains your teams to adjust height and tilt settings properly, whether sitting or standing, and we make sure your carts are suitable for both left- and right-handed users. We also support you in maintaining your fleet — replacing faulty casters and parts to keep your teams safe and comfortable.

Stay Ahead with Monitoring and Maintenance
A well-maintained fleet is a reliable fleet. HSL’s support doesn’t stop after installation — we help you track battery health, schedule regular maintenance, and monitor usage with fleet management software. We also advise on simple, standard cleaning protocols that keep your carts sanitary and your electronics safe.

Train and Empower Your Teams
No cart setup is complete without confident users. HSL provides full training during rollout and refresher sessions when needed. We can help you share best-practice tips on your intranet or right on the carts, and we’ll help you designate “superusers” in each department so staff always have someone to turn to.

Your carts are more than just equipment — they’re a key part of delivering safe, efficient care. With HSL’s complete design, implementation, training, and support, you get a mobile workstation fleet that truly works for you, every day.
