AMD Telemedicine and iCRco reach CR and Film Scanner Agreement

iCRco Inc. of Torrance, Calif., and AMD Telemedicine Inc. of Lowell, Mass., this week inked a global agreement enabling AMD to offer its customers the iCRco systems.

AMD will market and sell the iCRco family of computed radiography (CR) and film scanner systems under the AMD Telemedicine brand name.

The iCRco line provides high-quality image acquisition, advanced quality control and diagnostic review in a single compact, cost-effective unit. It is made available as a complete CR system that combines automatic cassette handling, automatic laser scanners, automatic erasable phosphor plates, image processing and management software on a PC-based review station.
