IDC wins India state government DR contract

Imaging Dynamics Company (IDC) has been awarded a contract by the central purchasing unit for medical hospitals in Uttrakahand, India, for five X-Series 1600 DR systems with X4C imaging detectors.

The X-Series 1600 utilizes IDC’s proprietary very high density,  CCD-based technology that is the result of more than 10 years of engineering research and development, the company said.

This is the “single largest purchase ever placed for DR equipment by the government in India and represents an active commitment to upgrade patient care throughout the country,” according to the Calgary, Alberta-based IDC.

IDC said its regional distribution partner, CURA Medical Equipment Pvt., of Chennai, India, will manage installation and ongoing support of the sites.
