Radiography equipment vendor Quantum Medical Imaging has completed an installation of its Q-Rad digital radiography (DR) system at a Chicago health center.
The Family Health Center at Oakwood Shores is a new outpatient center that is part of Mercy Hospital in Chicago. The new center will take over primary care services, pediatrics, and ob/gyn from the hospital, and it will provide new services such as digital mammography, x-ray, laboratory services, diabetes care, and a retail pharmacy.
The Q-Rad system installed includes Quantum's Q-Vision high-frequency generator, QS-550 floor-mounted tube stand, QT-750 float-top radiographic table, and QW-420-D Verti-Q wall stand, Quantum said.
Quantum is a division of Carestream Health. The sale and installation were facilitated by Radiation Services of Indiana.
![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)
