Ronkonkoma, NY-based Quantum plans to show its new QV-8000 single DR receptor radiographic unit, as well as the Q-Rad PQ Digital Radiographic System with pivoting table.
QV-8000's C-arm design allow constant alignment between the x-ray tube and the image receptor. This new design incorporates what Quantum calls anatomically programmed radiography, an automatic positioning technique that places QV-8000 into the correct orientation when a technologist selects an exam on the generator.
QV-8000 is targeted for imaging centers and orthopedic facilities, as it is suited for imaging handicapped and physically restricted patients. Quantum expects FDA clearance in 2006.
Q-Rad PQ Digital Radiographic System has a pivoting, elevating float-top table (700-lb patient capacity). It features a single digital receptor built into a tilting/rotating wall stand situated on a horizontal track. The tube head is ceiling-mounted, with a telescoping tube that matches the vertical travel of the wall stand.
Quantum plans to market Q-Rad PQ for general radiography. It has FDA clearance and is available worldwide.

![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)
