The Persona CS mobile fluoroscopy system is available with 21-centimeter by 21-centimeter or 30-centimeter by 30-centimeter amorphous silicon flat panel DR detectors that require about 30% less dose than traditional systems on the market, Fabrizio said. The system features a 27-inch touchscreen monitor and removable grid for low-dose applications.
JPI Healthcare Solutions
In 2022, JPI Healthcare Solutions released its new ExamVue Duo acquisition software for the company’s radiology equipment. ExamVue Duo streamlines technician workflow for busy clinics and imaging centers with touchscreen monitors, and also offers customizable tools for smaller clinics and private practices.
ExamVue Duo is also being incorporated into the company’s fluoroscopy solutions and upcoming CT and tomographic releases for 2023, including the Strixion Orthopedic Tomography system and CBCT systems.
KA Imaging
KA Imaging is preparing to introduce the Reveal Mobile System, which will be powered by the company’s patented SpectralDR technology in the Reveal 35C detector. The technology enables dual-energy subtraction.
“We are very excited as it will be the first fully integrated mobile system capable of providing not only high-quality digital radiographs but also spectral images of bone and soft tissue simultaneously,” said Robert Moccia, vice president of U.S. sales for KA Imaging. “With all the clinical benefits that are already associated with dual-energy subtraction, being able to offer it in a mobile solution is a great fit for the world's needs today.”
Previous technical limitations didn’t allow for dual-energy imaging on a mobile system, Moccia said. The SpectralDR technology now makes it possible, with energy separation taking place inside the detector.
Research has explored the clinical benefits of dual energy for a number of applications, including pneumonia and pneumothorax, finding line and tube tips and triaging for pulmonary nodules or coronary calcium.
“What we did is simply take dual energy to another level by increasing access, to a point where it can really become mainstream,” Moccia said. “We are in contact with radiologists and they are very optimistic about the new possibilities enabled by the SpectralDR technology in the ICU, in the emergency room and even in the operating room.”
Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas
Earlier this year, Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas introduced the mKDR Xpress Mobile X-ray System, which incorporates both the company’s Dynamic Digital Radiography technology, which visualizes anatomy in motion, and its new AeroDR Glassless High-Definition Flat Panel Detector.
