20/20 Imaging Brings Innovations in Digital x-ray and Imaging Software

20/20 Imaging, a leader in small market imaging with nearly 2,500 installations across the country, announced today their product line-up for RSNA 2013, led by a new digital x-ray system with enhanced software capabilities and higher frequency generator. Targeted more specifically to the podiatry market, this higher-frequency system offers the potential for lower dose with advanced imaging capabilities that enable lower technique for lower radiation to be used. The system is also anatomically programmed - a one-of-a-kind capability for podiatry practices - saving time, assuring accuracy, and further enhancing efficiency by enabling exams to be selected at the technologist workstation instead of at the device.

"As we continue to grow our imaging product portfolio, bringing our products to RSNA and being part of the ever-growing imaging community is a strategic business imperative for us," explained Bob Salzman, president, 20/20 Imaging. "We are excited to showcase our most advanced portfolio to date along with our integrated software capabilities that paint the future of streamlined workflow in small market imaging."

Beyond podiatry, 20/20 Imaging's product portfolio also includes solutions for the chiropractic, hand and now the veterinary markets as well.

  • Advanced, complete end-to-end imaging solutions for chiropractic practices include the cutting-edge Chiro Straight-Arm digital x-ray solution, equipped with the company's CFPG and the industry-leading C-DR retrofit system, both enable the direct capture of images and quick display of data on computer workstations within seconds.
  • The HDR & HFP, dedicated specifically to the unique needs of the hand surgery market, were unveiled at this past October's American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) Annual Meeting.
  • After years as a leading provider of custom retrofit solutions for veterinary markets, the addition of the V-XRS, a multi option digital receptor turn-key x-ray system equipped with a 32kW HF APR generator, 4-way float top table and mini-PACS will further advance the digital imaging capabilities for veterinary practices.

20/20 Imaging works closely with sister company Viztek, Inc., a leading provider of complete digital software and hardware diagnostic imaging solutions, and also an RSNA exhibitor with their full portfolio of products and solutions for imaging centers and hospitals.
