Digital radiography vendor Swissray International has received a contract from the U.S. Defense Supply Center of Philadelphia to sell its complete line of digital radiography systems.

This contract allows any branch of the Department of Defense or U.S. government agency to purchase directly from Elizabeth, NJ-based Swissray.

Prior to this agreement, Swissray held a contract with the National Acquisition Center and has installed its filmless DR systems in Veterans Affairs hospitals and several military bases over the past five years.
