MinXray has been awarded a contract with the U.S. Army to supply the next generation of Computed Radiography (CR) digital x-ray imaging systems

MinXray, Inc. has been awarded a contract with the U.S. Army to supply the next generation of Computed Radiography (CR) digital x-ray imaging systems. The iCRco VERTX outperformed the competition during intensive environmental testing at Aberdeen Proving Grounds and Redstone Arsenal. MinXray, Inc. was notified of their contract by the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia after final presentations at Fort Detrick, Maryland.  See Photo

The VERTX features True Flat Path Scan, providing artifact-free images due to the unique design of the cassette and mounting of the phosphor image plate (IP). This scanner only contains one moving part, yielding less complicated service and repair issues. The fast throughput and automatic post processing of the images provide speed in critical situations. The user-friendly software will make training and operation efficient duties.

The versatile VERTX can be used as a free-standing scanner. It can also be mounted easily to the MinXray PowerPlus portable x-ray unit and stand, which fold like a two-wheel cart providing unparalleled ease of movement in a compact imaging system. Several hundred PowerPlus units are currently in service by the U.S. Armed Forces. This rugged yet ultra-precise combination of technologies allows for optimum accuracy in battlefield medicine. Deployment by the U.S. Army is anticipated to be picture perfect, and the VERTX will likely be the gold standard for military and commercial radiography use.
