CALGARY, Aug. 12 /CNW/ - IDC (Imaging Dynamics Company Ltd.) (TSX: IDL), the global leader in the rapidly growing market for digital radiography (DR), today announced that Doctors Hospital at Renaissance (DHR) in Edinburg, Texas has purchased IDC's 1600 Plus X-Series DR system with the X3C detector. The IDC DR system, which will be used to conduct chest X-rays for surgery pre-screening, is the first of several planned IDC installations for the growing practice.
"We have extensive experience with all types of radiography systems, including conventional X-ray, computed radiography and digital radiography systems," explains Melissa Pena Flores, DHR Radiology Director. "IDC's digital radiography system is not only faster, more efficient and easier to use than film or CR, the image quality is also superior."
DHR is a 437-bed complete acute care facility providing a full range of medical and surgical services. In addition to its on-campus imaging facility, DHR has five freestanding imaging centers located throughout the Rio Grande Valley and delivers a full range of diagnostic and interventional radiological services for both in-patients and out-patients.
"The decision-makers at Doctors Hospital at Renaissance were at first attracted to IDC's low cost of acquisition and ownership, but were ultimately sold on IDC's image quality," commented Carlos Cabral, IDC Regional Vice President. "DHR's imaging services are among its most highly prized capabilities, so it is quite an honor for IDC to have been selected and a validation of our advantages over our larger competitors."
