Hologic to use Kubtec XPERT radiography system in training facility

Hologic will offer the Xpert Mobile specimen radiography system from Kubtec as part of the training for physicians and technologists at its David Ellenbogen Center for Health Sciences Education in Bedford, Mass. 

The Xpert Mobile is a specimen radiography system available with up to an 8- x 8-inch camera, 16-bit contrast resolution and 1.0 mA x-ray source output, enabling it to image the smallest micro-calcifications in large specimens, the Fairfield, Conn.-based Kubtec said.
