Diagnostic Medical Systems (Mauguio, France) received FDA clearance to bring to the U.S. the Platinum radiology table. The robotic system is designed for use during radiography exams and for fluoroscopy during interventional procedures, potentially saving facilities from having to buy separate systems that cost more and take up more space. Details from the product page:
“The Platinum technology includes: independent movement of the X-ray tube and the detector block, a brushless motor with absolute encoders for fast and accurate positioning, as well as a generator fully integrated into the table’s control panel. The Platinum also integrates an innovative control system based on PC server technology that permits monitoring and automatic control of the table and the collimator. The smart design of the Platinum has integrated the electrical cabinet directly into the table structure for simplicity (less cables!), space saving and optimized access to the electronic board and the motors.”
