Carestream Health has launched an update to its Horizon x-ray system with the addition of a six-way floating table.
The new table enables technologists to make faster adjustments to patient positioning with less effort, which increases accuracy, accelerates throughput, and minimizes patient movement, the company said. Overall, the ergonomic table helps deliver a more user-friendly imaging experience for radiology staff and faster, more comfortable exams for patients, according to Carestream.
The Horizon system now has a six-way floating table. Carestream
