Health Canada has approved Siemens Healthineers' Multitom Rax robotic advanced x-ray system.

The system performs radiography, fluoroscopy, and angiography studies with 3D imaging capability. It enables examinations in multiple clinical areas -- from emergency medicine and interventional to pain management and orthopedics -- all in one room using one x-ray system. In addition, the system acquires 3D natural weight-bearing images.

Multitom Rax features a height-adjustable patient table and two independent, ceiling-mounted robotic arms for the x-ray tube head and the flat-panel digital detector. Both robotic arms can be moved into position automatically or manually.

The approval means Siemens' full suite of Multiple Advances in X-Ray (MAX) x-ray systems is now available in Canada, the firm said.
