IDC wins digital x-ray install in Florida

Orthopaedic Clinic of Daytona Beach in Florida has awarded Imaging Dynamics Company (IDC) a contract for four of its X-Series digital radiography systems.

“We currently have three locations and an expanding practice that demands the efficiency and flexibility of digital x-ray,” said John Heckert, clinic administrator of Orthopaedic Clinic. “I believe IDC is able to deliver the throughput and image quality that will allow us to improve patient care while at the same time reduce overhead.”

The Calgary, Alberta-based IDC is partnering on the account with its regional distributor, Southeast Imaging, a provider of advanced imaging equipment and support services for medical practices in the southeastern United States.
