November 15, 2010 -- 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.
