Siemens Medical Solutions will introduce a mobile x-ray unit with an integrated computed radiography (CR) reader at next week's 2006 RSNA meeting in Chicago.
Mobilett XP CR includes an integrated monitor and image archiving capabilities, and is suited for mobile imaging tasks in the intensive care unit (ICU), neonatal and pediatric departments, and surgery wards, according to the Malvern, PA-based firm. Clinicians can perform basic image processing tasks such as brightness, contrast, and edge enhancement directly on the system, Siemens said.
The unit can use different imaging formats with different imaging cassettes, Siemens said. The integrated CR reader has a reading capacity of 60 cassettes per hour.

![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)
