Multimodality vendor Philips Medical Systems has launched a new computed radiography system in its PCR product line, called PCR Eleva. The Andover, MA, company launched the system at last week's Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) meeting.
PCR Eleva includes a dedicated workstation with an optimized workflow designed to enhance CR productivity, according to the company. The workstation is capable of scheduling a work list through a hospital's RIS, with patient information automatically linked to the CR cassette.
Quality control features include brightness/contrast, shutter control, annotation, and orientation control. The system's DICOM functionality allows it to integrate directly into a hospital IT network. The system's interface also integrates with the Vequion user interface used on other products in the Philips portfolio.

![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. AM = age-matched, DEXA = dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, RM2 = room 2, SNUH = Seoul National University Hospital, YA = young adult.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/04/ai-children-bone-density.0snnf2EJjr.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
