CHS selects Konica Minolta CR for supply pact

Konica Minolta Medical Imaging will supply computed radiography (CR) products to Carolinas HealthCare Systems (CHS) under a new three-year agreement.

CHS will use Konica's Xpress CR system, which is designed for hospital settings, as well as care centers, community facilities and outpatient environments.

CHS is a not-for-profit healthcare provider, which owns, leases and manages hospitals, nursing homes, physician practices, home health agencies, radiation therapy facilities and managed care companies. There are more than 4,900 licensed beds with CHS's network.
