Re-posted from Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Europe with permission. Timed to coincide with the date (8th November) of the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Röntgen in 1895, the International day of radiology (IDoR) has now evolved into an annual event of “action and awareness” organized by the
Read MoreCarestream’s introduction in 2009 of the world’s first portable, wireless, cassette-sized detector – the CARESTREAM DRX-1 Detector – has fundamentally changed the digital radiography market with a versatile and cost-effective imaging solution. Now available, the third-generation design: the CARESTREAM DRX Plus Detector takes DR to a new level. This white paper,

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a variant of traditional computed tomography (CT) and was first described in the late 1970s. The main difference between the two approaches is the volume of the object that is imaged at one time. In traditional CT, a narrow

It’s a new month so that means it is time for a new “Guess the X-ray” Image Challenge. October's Image Challenge was guessed correctly relatively quickly. It was the sole of a running sneaker. The x-ray image for November is below. The challenge will run until the end of

This white paper addresses the benefits of a prototype cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system dedicated to extremity imaging. The CBCT system was co-developed by scientists at Carestream Health and Johns Hopkins University. The CBCT system was designed to image both upper and lower extremities, with the

It’s a new month so that means it is time for a new “Guess the X-ray” Image Challenge. September's Image Challenge, a ball in a baseball mitt, was never guessed correctly (although there were some good guesses), so let’s see if we can make things
Read MoreBack in July, we made our announcement that Carestream was officially entering the radiography/fluoroscopy (R/F) market with the introduction of the DRX-Excel Plus and the DRX-Excel. Below is the first look of the DRX-Excel Plus in action. The demo video will take you through the various

It’s a new month so that means it is time for a new “Guess the X-ray” Image Challenge. August's Image Challenge, a wind-up toy, was guessed pretty quickly, so let’s see if we can make things a little more difficult this month.. The image for September
