Torrance, CA — July 23, 2018 - Shimadzu Medical Systems USA, a subsidiary of Shimadzu Corporation, is proud to announce the release of the RADspeed fit.

Shimadzu Medical Systems USA has launched a new radiographic table system called the RADspeed fit, a general radiography table system offering higher image quality than any other compact integrated system in its class.

As the newest U.S. based product in the RADspeed series, the RADspeed fit with its integrated tube stand, is an outstanding radiography system that offers a cost-effective balance of functionality to support a wide range of general rad applications, such as chest, abdomen, or extremities. The fit can perform emergency examinations while providing the same easy operability and extensive functionality for reducing exposure levels as developed for other products in the series.

The system generator is integrated into the patient table and with easy removal of the tabletop, servicing the unit is a snap making it ideal as an entry level digital radiography (DR) system. Practically priced, the RADspeed fit is equipped with a digital X-ray detector (FPD) and makes the perfect digital X-ray system for Urgent Care and Clinical Centers.

The RADspeed fit will be on display at the AHRA in Orlando, FL (July 23-25, 2018) in booth #404. About Shimadzu

  PARIS: New Zealand scientists have performed the first-ever 3-D, colour X-ray on a human, using a technique that promises to improve the field of medical diagnostics, said Europe’s CERN physics lab which contributed imaging technology.
  
  The new device, based on the traditional black-and-white X-ray, incorporates particle-tracking technology developed for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, which in 2012 discovered the elusive Higgs Boson particle.
  
  “This colour X-ray imaging technique could produce clearer and more accurate pictures and help doctors give their patients more accurate diagnoses,” said a CERN statement.
  
  The CERN technology, dubbed Medipix, works like a camera detecting and counting individual sub-atomic particles as they collide with pixels while its shutter is open.
  
  This allows for high-resolution, high-contrast pictures.
  
  The machine’s “small pixels and accurate energy resolution meant that this new imaging tool is able to get images that no other imaging tool can achieve,” said developer Phil Butler of the University of Canterbury.
  
  According to the CERN, the images very clearly show the difference between bone, muscle and cartilage, but also the position and size of cancerous tumours, for example.

  The technology is being commercialised by New Zealand company MARS Bioimaging, linked to the universities of Otago and Canterbury which helped develop it.
