Carestream Health has launched a new x-ray system called Horizon for small-to-midsize imaging centers, orthopedic facilities, urgent care centers, and hospitals.
The compact, manual analog system is designed for smaller healthcare facilities where ease of use, equipment reliability, low maintenance costs, and a low level of investment are essential, Carestream said. Horizon features a floating tabletop that allows fast positioning and flexibility for all major exams and fits into small rooms and requires no additional ceiling support. It is also available without the table in a floor-mount configuration for chest x-rays or chiropractic imaging.

In addition, the system provides an upgrade path to digital imaging, the cost of which can be a barrier for smaller facilities. The horizon x-ray system can be upgraded to digital workflow through Focus 35C and Focus 43C detectors powered by Image Suite Software, Carestream said.
