X-ray illuminator firm Maxant Technologies of Niles, IL, has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for its MediPort line of digital workstations.
MediPort combines the construction and access of a wall-mounted film viewer with the functionality of digital workstations, according to the firm. It can be wall-mounted or recess-mounted, and features a pop-up keyboard with trackball or optional mouse. The company highlighted the product at the 2005 RSNA meeting.
MediPort is designed for use in all hospital environments as well as imaging centers, physicians' offices, and clinical laboratories. The product is designed to meet the expanding use of digital images in areas outside of traditional diagnostic viewing environments, according to the company.

![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)
