Siemens Healthcare has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Multix Select DR digital radiography (DR) system.
Multix Select DR allows physicians to acquire images for virtually all radiographic exams, from skull to pelvis to extremities, according to Siemens. The system's 14 x 17-inch mobile flat-panel digital detector provides coverage for both generalized and specialized radiographic imaging; for pediatric exams, its grid can be removed to reduce patient radiation dose.
The device also features a floating tabletop and vertical coverage of the bucky wall stand, which allows for a range of examination positions, including standing, sitting, recumbent, and even wheelchairs, Siemens said.
