Quantum Medical Imaging

Radiography vendor Quantum Medical Imaging of Rokonkoma, NY, will showcase a new digital universal radiography system as a work-in-progress at this year's RSNA conference.

QV-9000 features an automated positioning capability in which all positioning motions of the C-arm are motorized and synchronized for maximum patient throughput. Once the exam is selected from either the modality work list or directly by the technologist, QV-9000 automatically moves itself into the position required to complete the examination.

The unit's C-arm design maintains constant alignment between the x-ray tube and the image receptor, regardless of tilt position or image receptor angle, according to the company. The system does not yet have U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance.
