FDA OKs newest DR system from Imaging Dynamics

Imaging Dynamics Company (IDC) has received U.S. FDA 510k clearance for its Xplorer 1600 CCD-based digital radiography (DR) system.

The Xplorer is IDC's newest DR system. It was introduced at this year's American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) show in Boston. The system incorporates a "U" arm positioning stand, attached x-ray tube and collimator and x-ray generator. It can perform chest x-rays and general radiography -- including cross table examinations -- without requiring any overhead structure in the room, IDC said.
