The Refurbished Philips Essenta DR Compact is a space-saving digital radiography (DR) X-ray system designed for clinics, diagnostic centers, hospitals, and imaging facilities that require a compact fixed radiography solution with flexible patient positioning.
Featuring a floor-mounted U-arm configuration, the system integrates the X-ray tube, automatic collimation system, and digital flat-panel detector carrier into a single mechanical structure. Its compact design makes it particularly suitable for imaging rooms where available floor space is limited.
The Essenta DR Compact incorporates a rotatable amorphous silicon digital flat-panel detector, allowing quick switching between landscape and portrait orientations. Its variable geometric movement supports efficient positioning for both horizontal examinations and upright/vertical chest projections.
The system can be configured with high-frequency generators in 50 kW, 65 kW, or 80 kW power ratings, depending on the specific system configuration.
With a minimum stated installation footprint of approximately 2500 mm × 3250 mm without an accessory patient trolley, the refurbished Philips Essenta DR Compact can be considered for budget-conscious clinics and diagnostic facilities with moderate patient volumes.

Digital Radiography System
The Philips Essenta DR Compact combines the major components of a fixed digital X-ray system into a compact mechanical arrangement.
The floor-mounted structure incorporates:
- X-ray tube
- Automatic collimation system
- Flat-panel digital detector carrier
- Mechanical positioning structure
This integrated arrangement is intended to simplify positioning while reducing the space required compared with larger radiography room configurations.
Rotatable Digital Flat-Panel Detector
A key component of the Essenta DR Compact is its rotatable amorphous silicon digital flat-panel detector.
The detector can be repositioned between landscape and portrait orientations, providing flexibility for different examination requirements.
This can be particularly useful for:
- Chest radiography
- Upright examinations
- General radiography
- Vertical projections
- Other routine X-ray examinations requiring different detector orientations
The exact detector size, resolution, pixel pitch, and other imaging characteristics should be confirmed for the individual refurbished system configuration.
Automatic Collimation
The system incorporates an automatic collimation system as part of its integrated X-ray tube assembly.
Collimation is important in radiography because it helps define the X-ray field for the selected examination area.
The exact automatic-collimation functionality and available configurations should be verified against the individual refurbished unit.
High-Frequency X-Ray Generator
The Philips Essenta DR Compact can be paired with different high-frequency generator configurations.
The supplied specifications identify generator power options of:
The actual generator rating depends on the specific configuration of the system being offered.
Compact X-Ray Room Design
One of the primary advantages of the Essenta DR Compact is its space-efficient design.
The stated minimum installation area is approximately:
2500 mm × 3250 mm
This specification is given without an accessory patient trolley.
The compact footprint can be useful for:
- Small diagnostic clinics
- Community hospitals
- Imaging centers
- Outpatient diagnostic facilities
- Clinics with limited radiography-room space
- Facilities upgrading from conventional X-ray to DR
Actual room planning must account for equipment clearances, operator position, patient movement, electrical requirements, radiation shielding, doors, walls, accessories, and applicable regulatory requirements.
