Orex Computed Radiography of Yokneam, Israel has launched a series of new options for its ACLxy CR reader, including a mobile mammography version.
ACLxy was first introduced at last year's RSNA meeting, and features a single-plate processing speed of up to 75 plates per hour. Since the RSNA show, the company has introduced Z-Cart, a mobile cart that enables ACLxy to be used as a portable CR system.
At last week's Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) meeting, Orex displayed a version of ACLxy mounted on a Z-Cart for mobile mammography use. The work-in-progress system features 50-micron resolution, borderless cassettes, and dedicated mammography viewing and analysis software. A CAD feature will be available in the future, the company said.
Orex also used its SCAR exhibit to show its work with bone densitometry firm CompuMed of Los Angeles in using Orex CR to scan a patient's hand for CompuMed's OsteoGram bone-mineral assessment reports.
Finally, Orex displayed long-bone imaging using ultra-long CR cassettes and stitching software that automatically rotates, aligns, and stitches images to create a single continuous image for orthopedic surgeons to visualize long bones.
