GE Healthcare and Konica Minolta Medical Imaging have signed a global distribution agreement for Konica Minolta's AeroDR cassette-size digital radiography (DR) imaging retrofit.
The two partners have now agreed to expand their strategic alliance, with GE distributing AeroDR in the U.S. and globally (excluding Japan), using GE sales channels.
The AeroDR is a lightweight, compact wireless cassette DR device, and is already in use in a range of medical workplaces. The agreement will enable healthcare facilities that have x-ray analog devices to implement digital imaging upgrades using their current imaging equipment, the companies said. In addition, three cassette sizes are available: 10 x 12 inches, 14 x 17 inches, and 17 x 17 inches.
Sales by GE are underway using a global sales network and will progressively span more than 50 countries.
