The Orthopaedic Institute has purchased three 1600 Plus X-Series DR systems from Imaging Dynamics (IDC), for three of its facilities in Ocala, Lake City and Alachua, Fla.

By installing a 1600 Plus X-Series system in three of its locations, IDC Regional Vice President Terry Jarvie said the practice will be better equipped to handle its growing patient load.

The Orthopaedic Institute is a private practice group of 22 specialty physicians providing the complete spectrum of musculoskeletal care including orthopedic surgery, primary care orthopedics, spine and neurosurgery, hand and upper extremity surgery as well as plastic and reconstructive surgery.
