Digitizer manufacturer Radiographic Digital Imaging has released CR-1, a system that combines conventional film scanning with reusable phosphor plate computed radiography technology. Featuring a small footprint, CR-1 can be wall-mounted or used on a desktop, and is ideal for mobile and/or portable environments, according to the Torrance, CA-based vendor.
CR-1 includes only one internal moving part and does not employ rollers to drive the plate past the scanning head. Instead, the plates are fixed to a rigid back plane, thereby avoiding abrasive contact with the plate's active area, RDI said. A positive traction rack and pinion drive system allows for virtually no stress on the phosphor plate during the scanning process, minimizing plate degradation and assuring maximum performance, RDI said.

![Representative example of a 16-year-old male patient with underlying X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. (A, B) Paired anteroposterior (AP) chest radiograph and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) report shows lumbar spine (L1 through L4) areal bone mineral density (BMD). The DXA report was reformatted for anonymization and improved readability. The patient had low BMD (Z score ≤ −2.0). (C) Model (chest radiography [CXR]–BMD) output shows the predicted raw BMD and Z score in comparison with the DXA reference standard, together with interpretability analyses using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) and gradient-weighted class activation maps. The patient was classified as having low BMD, consistent with the reference standard.
