Digital Radiography – Smarter Digital X-ray with Clear high resolution Images
In the area of digital radiography, Samsung has launched three machines, the XGEO GC80, XGEO GU60 and the XGEO GR40 which cater to requirements across all Digital Radiography market segments. Targeted at large and medium-sized hospitals, the digital radiography machines are incorporated with the ultrasensitive Flat Panel Detector with the proprietary ALDAS (Advanced Low Dose Amorphous Silicon Sensor) technology. ALDAS improves patient safety and the reliability of the diagnosis by acquiring high-resolution images with a very small amount of radiation.
The compact, light-weighted, and portable detector provides a better medical environment by improving user convenience and the efficiency of work. Furthermore, these machines are equipped with an outstanding post image processing technology ALCOS (Adaptive Local Contrast Stretching) that automatically determines suitable image conditions depending on the target body parts and tissues. This proprietary technology provides qualified images for diagnoses by applying high resolution image contrast and edge sharpness enhancement functions. Furthermore, intuitive Graphical User Interface makes it easier to use and understand the equipment, providing high levels of ease and convenience.
The XGEO GC80 an innovative and cutting edge digital radiography system, which reduces examination time for diagnoses. The Smart Stitching function in the XGEO GC80 automatically connects several images together without lines or overlapping regions to show an intact body part image that is bigger than the total area of the Flat Panel Detector. Thanks to Samsung’s humanoid robot technologies, the user can also easily adjust or position of the Tube Head Unit or the 6-way Table using only one hand. The table is designed to move with great flexibility to help patients who are immobile or who have severe injuries to position themselves easily for a scan.
Offering enhanced Convenience and Usability within an ergonomic design, the XGEO GU60 has Flexible universal arm that can easily scan in a small space. It also has an Auto Positioning Function that remembers the most frequently used positions and automatically swivels the U-arm to those positions for a scan. The AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) function controls the X-ray dosage to prevent the patient from being exposed to unnecessary radiation. Also the XGEO GU60 has an innovative LED lighting system that allows the patients to easily follow the progress of the scan.(Green - “ready”, blue -“adjusting”, orange - “scanning” and red - “emergency”). This user-friendly function makes it easy to check the status of the device. Furthermore, most functions of the XGEO GU60 can be controlled by a remote control, which allows the user to work with the scanner more conveniently without going back and forth between the scanning room and the control room.
Compact and light weight, the XGEO GR 40 improves diagnosis efficiency while the Advanced Low Dose Amorphous Silicon Sensor (ALDAS) guarantees low doses of x-ray exposure and premium imaging quality.The Samsung XGEO GR40 Detector Adapter converts conventional film-based analog x ray protection into digital X-ray systems for quick results and high-quality images more efficiently. Also when purchasing the XGEO GR40 you have the option of obtaining the simple and elegant manual stand as well. The stand’s ergonomic-design makes it easier to insert the FPD into the Detector Adapter.

Mobisante Grabs $4.2M for Mobile Ultrasound Tools
Redmond, WA-based Mobisante has pulled in some new cash to support its dream of making ultrasound(portable ultrasound machine) technology available on low-cost, lightweight smartphones and tablets.
Mobisante has raked in $4.2 million of equity financing out of a deal that could ultimately be worth as much as $5.3 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A portion of the deal—$2.3 million—represents the conversion of prior debt financing into equity stakes, according to the filing. A total of 25 investors participated in the round. Mobisante has previously gotten investment from Seattle-based WRF Capital.
The company, which I first profiled in December 2010, went on to win FDA approval for its novel ultrasound-on-a-smartphone device in February 2011. The firm saw an early surge of interest in its tool among physicians in rural parts of the U.S. and around the world, where doctors have limited access to some of the more expensive portable ultrasound machines made by companies like SonoSite and GE, or the more powerful and expensive cart-bound ultrasound machines(medical equipments) found in hospitals. Mobisante has been working on various iterations of its device, to provide the right balance of cost and capability to find a niche in the market.
Mobisante plans to use the money to expand its sales and marketing efforts, and to build up new cloud computing capacity to enable its customers to easily store, share, and analyze the ultrasound images they capture on their devices, CEO Sailesh Chutani says. The company currently has just under 10 employees, and a network of about 30 consultants, he says.
Chutani isn’t disclosing how many devices it has sold since the original product debut in November 2011, but said he’s seen “steady growth.” Mobisante has made a number of adjustments, however, based on feedback from customers in its early days. It now offers both a smartphone and tablet-based device, both of which typically sell for under $10,000 in various configurations, and offers its products for leases between $400-$700 a month, Chutani says. Customers made it clear they wanted the larger images, and the high image quality, they can get on a tablet device.
Mobisante is also aiming its product lineup at two distinct market segments—musculoskeletal medicine (sometimes called orthopedics/sports medicine), and point of care medicine, like in the emergency room. Those markets make the most sense, Chutani says, because they aren’t already saturated by existing ultrasound products, and Mobisante is able to offer a strong value proposition—a low cost product that can offer clear benefits.
While Bothell, WA-based SonoSite spent years educating physicians about the benefits of portable ultrasound for point of care medicine—for example, using ultrasound to help guide the placement of catheters so that patients wouldn’t get bleeding episodes or infections—this market largely didn’t materialize. Part of what’s different now, Chutani says, is that hospitals are facing penalties under the Affordable Care Act for making errors in those type of everyday procedures, so they they are being forced to think about how to get more efficient, and more serious about avoiding those complications.
The cloud computing piece could end up being the most innovative thing Mobisante does. Currently, the big proprietary systems sold by companies like GE, Philips, and Siemens produce vivid images, but they can’t easily be uploaded to cloud servers, making it extremely difficult for physicians to consult with peers who aren’t right next to them.
Unlike systems based on proprietary hardware, Mobisante’s system was built from the start on commodity electronics parts from smartphones and tablets, which benefit from Moore’s Law style computing improvements, and are equipped from the get-go to share images. So by coupling that hardware with cloud servers to handle the images, Mobisante believes it can get a competitive edge. Mobisante’s next task is pretty clear. Capture at least a small slice of of an overall market opportunity worth an estimated about $1.7 billion worldwide.
