New Rad-MP(TM) System Upgrade uniquely combines a large field of view
radiolucent imaging table and hydraulic patient chair and pedestal for rapid,
               accurate imaging of seated and standing patients

    SOUTH LYON, Mich., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Lodox System North America
today announced the availability of the Rad-MP(TM) system upgrade for its
Statscan Critical Imaging System.  Described by Frost & Sullivan as one of the
most versatile DR systems in the market, Statscan achieves even greater levels
of clinical versatility and ease-of-use when equipped with the Rad-MP(TM)
upgrade.
    According to Lodox's VP of Marketing Kevin Oakley, "The new Rad-MP(TM)
system upgrade equips Statscan to be a dual-purpose system, equally adept at
performing radiographic exams for trauma patients as well as ambulatory
emergency room patients.  Even though many conventional radiographic
procedures can easily be done on patients directly on our dual purpose mobile
trauma gurney/imaging table alone, the Rad-MP(TM) system upgrade greatly
enhances and expands Statscan's overall utilities, especially for upright
patient imaging.  With Rad-MP(TM), Statscan truly weighs in as the Ultimate
Digital Radiographic X-ray System for Trauma and Emergency Medicine."
    The new Rad-MP(TM) system upgrade consists of a 20" x 28" (50cm x 71cm)
radiolucent imaging table, hydraulic patient imaging chair and platform.  The
imaging table can be used in both horizontal and vertical planes, and the
adjustable hydraulic chair and platform can accommodate both seated and
standing patients.  This combination of capabilities ensures accurate
positioning, patient comfort and maximum safety during radiographic exams and
allows virtually any conceivable diagnostic procedure to be performed easily.
    When equipped with the Rad-MP(TM) system upgrade, the Statscan allows x-
ray technologists to easily position seated or standing patients for imaging
of upper-body extremities, erect chests/abdomens, and weight-bearing spine and
joint procedures.
    The Rad-MP(TM) system upgrade can be acquired as an option to the standard
configuration of new Statscan systems, or added to Statscan systems already in
clinical use.
