Amerinet, a St. Louis-based organization that collaborates with providers to improve performance, has signed a three-year agreement to offer Carestream’s CR and DR digital imaging systems to its 60,000-plus members nationwide.

The agreement includes Carestream’s DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System, DRX-1 System, DRX-Evolution, DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit and DRX-Ascend System, according to Rochester, N.Y.-based Carestream.

The company’s family of CR systems is included, and both CR and DR imaging systems from Carestream use the same graphic user interface, allowing for minimal technologist training, Carestream said.
