Digital x-ray manufacturer KA Imaging and Shirazi Trading Company (STC) have partnered to bring KA Imaging's portable dual-energy subtraction (DES) x-ray detector Reveal 35C to Pakistan.
The system uses a single low dose x-ray exposure to provide three images -- standard x-ray, bone, and tissue separation -- with no motion artifacts, according to KA Imaging. It could transform tuberculosis treatment in Pakistan, as research has shown that DES x-rays can more accurately detect tuberculosis than conventional chest x-rays, the company said.
