IDC wins DR contract for eight military hospitals in Pakistan

Imaging Dynamics Company (IDC) has started installing the X-Series 2200 DR systems in eight A-Class military hospitals as contracted by the government of Pakistan. The contract was recognized by IDC in the fourth quarter of 2007.

The X-Series uses IDC’s third generation of digital x-ray technology, which provides high quality images using low dose and has a very low cost of ownership compared to traditional film x-ray technology, the Calgary, Alberta-based company said.

IDC said it is working in conjunction with its regional partner Meximp Technologies for delivery and ongoing service and support of the contract.

The X-Series 2200 utilizes proprietary CCD-based technology that is the result of more than 10 years of engineering research and development, IDC said.

The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
