Wayne, NJ, June 4, 2013 – Konica Minolta Medical Imaging announced today the release of a new Digital Radiography Solution -- ImagePilot Aero.  This all-in-one digital imaging system combines the ease of use and simplified image acquisition of the Konica Minolta ImagePilot System with the workflow efficiencies, and high image quality of the lightweight, wireless Aero DR panel.  With this new solution, private practices, imaging centers and community hospitals have access to the productivity and versatility of wireless DR.

“With the ImagePilot Aero, transitioning to DR has never been easier,” says Steve Eisner, Senior Marketing Manager at Konica Minolta. “It is the perfect marriage of two Konica Minolta innovations that can help clinicians raise their level of productivity.
