Portable x-ray equipment developer MinXray said it has installed compact portable digital x-ray equipment in Dakar, Senegal, and Bogota, Columbia.

At the Programme National de Lutte contre la Tuberculose in Dakar, the company installed three CMDR-2S units, which will be transported around the country to evaluate individuals for tuberculosis. In Colombia, five CMDR-2S units and accessories were delivered for use by Fiscalía General de la Nación, a government agency that performs forensic research and identifies human remains.
