GE's Definium 5000 is a U-arm system designed for small radiology and orthopedic clinics. It includes GE's digital flat-panel detector technology and a U-arm that can fit into smaller rooms without the need for ceiling-support structures for x-ray tube suspensions.
Also on display will be the premium Definium 8000 and portable Definium AMX 700 DR systems. Definium 8000 is available in a range of configurations, from a single wall stand to a complete radiographic room. Definium AMX 700 features a large active imaging area for a variety of patients, according to the company.
In surgical C-arms, GE will showcase OEC 9900 Elite, which the company began shipping again in 2008 following the resolution of a consent decree with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that saw the company pull the product off the market for nine months. Look for GE to emphasize the system's reliability, as well as radiation dose control and versatility.
