Canadian radiography quality control technology developer Diagnostic Imaging Specialists (DISC) of St. Malo, Manitoba, plans to launch its new DR Radchex device at the RSNA meeting later this month.
DR Radchex is designed for weekly and periodic digital radiography (DR) quality assurance programs on DR systems from all vendors. It features an 11.5 x 11.5-inch detector located in the center of its electronic cassette to allow imaging phantoms to be used to create images, while simultaneously providing a measurement of radiation dose used.

![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)
