CALGARY, July 28 /CNW/ - IDC (Imaging Dynamics Company Ltd.) (TSX: IDL), the global leader in the rapidly growing market for digital radiography (DR), will be showcasing its X-Series Digital Radiography (DR) solutions at the AHRA 2008 Annual Meeting and Exposition at Booth No.809 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado from July 28 - 30, 2008. IDC will demonstrate its modular DR systems featuring its advanced CCD technology and latest Magellan software.
According to AHRA President, Jeffrey A. Palmucci, "Digital radiography is an incredibly efficient technology, eliminating many steps for technologists. In addition, DR addresses the increasing pressure from the government to reduce waste and use of chemicals while providing a safer environment and a better culture for hospital staff."
IDC's X-Series technology represents the third generation of its commercially successful digital radiography system, with installations in nearly 40 countries. The IDC X-Series CCD-based imaging detectors: X3C and X4C are digital alternatives to traditional film-based imaging. The product line is tiered to provide high-quality, affordable solutions for each level of healthcare, from hospitals to small clinics, outpatient centers, orthopaedic practices and for healthcare providers in developing countries or markets.
The technology provides the following advances:
- Higher sensitivity and amplified dynamic range
- Lateral Overflow Drain to eliminate saturation artifacts
- Enhanced soft tissue imaging without compromising bone detail
- Significant increase in imaging performance
The worldwide market for digital radiography is expected to grow to $844.2 million USD by the year 2010, according to a report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. "IDC technology is in the sweet spot of the trend toward digitizing the radiology department," commented IDC President & CEO Tom Boon. "By using proven, patented CCD technology that efficiently produces high quality images, IDC delivers all the well-documented benefits of upgrading to DR at a low cost of acquisition and ownership."
