Fujifilm Medical Systems USA of Stamford, CT, has joined Stamford Hospital and AmeriCares in donating a portable digital x-ray system to the Haiti relief effort.
The system will be shipped to a hospital that currently does not have x-ray capabilities.
Physicians at the hospital in Carrefour, Haiti, located approximately 10 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, are expected to benefit from the use of x-ray to set fractures and treat and evaluate a range of injuries and other health issues related to last month's earthquake.

![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)
