Ferrania Technologies, based in Cairo Montenotte, Italy, will show its LifeInVision DR 942 digital radiography system at this year's show.

LifeInVision DR 942 builds on the LifeInVision DR 961, and is optimized for variable-focus chest examinations, extremities, and skull and spinal examinations, and for handling patients on stretchers using the overhead x-ray tube and vertical stand.

Like other Ferrania systems, LifeInVision DR 942 uses an amorphous silicon flat-panel detector technology that utilizes a square 43 x 43-cm Trixell Pixium 4600 plate.

Lateral conventional attenuation (a, b, e, f) and co-registered dark-field (c, d, g, h) images of two spine specimens. Vertical (a, c, e, g) and horizontal (b, d, f, h) scans of the spine specimen of a 77-year-old female with osteoporosis (bone mineral density = 65.75 mg/dL) (a–d) and a non-osteoporotic spine specimen (e–h) of a 61-year-old female (bone mineral density = 169.38 mg/dL).

XRAI (left) and GradCAM (right) heatmaps for true positive images. The original radiographs are on the left, the Grad-CAM activations and heatmaps are in the middle, and the XRAI activations and overlays are on the right. For the XRAI overlays, only regions reaching the 70th percentile of activation strength are shown.
