Moviemakers Discover iCRco’s Full-Spine Imaging System – See It at RSNA!

One of next summer’s blockbuster movies will feature iCRco’s iDR Long Bone technology in its storyline. The iDR Long Bone was selected by the film’s creators because it is the only digital radiography solution capable of both regional scanning and full-spine imaging studies.

“At 17x51, the iDR Long Bone has the largest image capture area on the market,” said iCRco Director of Strategic Marketing and Business Development Jared K. Houk. “Our single-exposure long bone radiography system utilizes needle-phosphor technology for high-resolution, low dose images.” Because iDR Long Bone utilizes only a single image, it eliminates the need for multiple exposures and the image-stitching software required to link them together.

The iDR Long Bone system works by sending image information from the detector plate directly to a scan processor. Its wall-mounted, moving scan head enables the device to take the full image in a single shot.

Unique applications for iDR Long Bone technology include neck and chest, full torso, full leg and full spine imaging, as well as scoliosis evaluation for pediatric cases.

“iDR Long Bone is a versatile application,” said Houk. “It is not only more efficient than the conventional methods used to scan the same areas, but it is a low-dose process, and that is something that we’re all very conscious of these days.”

Visitors to the iCRco booth at RSNA 2011 can learn the name of the movie in which the iDR Long Bone will appear.
