Lodox Systems of South Lyon, MI, will demonstrate Rad-MPTM and Lucid, functional enhancements to its Statscan DR system, which has been installed in 18 facilities worldwide in the past year.
The Rad-MPTM upgrade supports increased functionality in trauma and ER x-ray settings. It consists of a fully adjustable, flexible 20 x 28-inch (50 x 71-cm) radiolucent imaging table that can be used in both horizontal and vertical planes. It also includes a hydraulic patient imaging chair and pedestal stand for imaging patients in upright sitting and standing positions. This optional upgrade is priced at $25,000.
Lucid is a new image enhancement tool for Statscan that improves visualization of the lateral cervical-thoracic spine junction by nearly 100% compared to conventional 2D radiography, according to Lodox.
Lucid has FDA clearance and is available in the U.S. and worldwide. It will be a standard feature on Statscan at no additional cost.
