| | Health Imaging | Screening

Novation has added Carestream’s DRX-Revolution mobile x-ray system to its medical imaging product portfolio.

The imaging system was added to Novation’s existing agreement, which includes Carestream’s family of DRX systems.

The DRX-Revolution includes an extended tubehead and collapsible column. A software tool creates companion images from the original exposure: one image is optimized to show tubes and lines so physicians can verify placement, and another optimized image accentuates the appearance of free air in the chest cavity for visualization of the pneumothorax Images.
