Shimadzu Medical Systems and its southeast regional dealer CMS Imaging have completed the installation of x-ray systems at a Florida hospital.
Nine radiography and two radiography/fluoroscopy imaging systems were installed at Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Four Shimadzu MobileDaRt systems will handle digital x-ray exams in intensive and critical care units of the hospital, as well as in the emergency department.
For its fluoroscopy exams, Holy Cross Hospital purchased both a high-speed digital radiography/fluoroscopy and a conventional fluoroscopy system. Shimadzu's Sonialvision Versa is designed to acquire a wide variety of exams and produces high-contrast 1,024 x 1,024-matrix images.
![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)
