Canadian digital x-ray developer Imaging Dynamics (IDC) has placed its Xplorer DR technology at MedRay Imaging in Coquitlam, British Columbia, according to the Calgary, Alberta-based firm.

The imaging center group selected the Xplorer 1600 system for its Gordon Professional Center facility, which opened earlier this month, IDC said.

In other news, the vendor reported that its distribution deal with Mentor, OH-based SourceOne Healthcare Technologies has been expanded to give SourceOne exclusive rights to sell Xplorer DR systems to all branches of the U.S. military, and to U.S. government agencies.

(a) Raw example of a dynamic digital radiograph. (b) Contrast equalization using contrast-limited adaptive equalization shows improved anatomical visualization. (c) Training data is generated through manually labeling using SLEAP’s graphical user interface. (d-e) Neural network detection schematic. For each quadrant a series of two networks were used. The first identifies the quadrant center, the second using input of the first, then identifies individual anatomical landmarks within a quadrant. (d) Four neural networks were trained, each with the objective of identifying a chest quadrant centroid. The four separate quadrants are visualized as colored boxes (right upper quadrant, green; right lower quadrant, blue; left upper quadrant, red; left lower quadrant, yellow). (e) Serial centroid then anatomical identification. Two quadrant examples showing confidence maps of trained neural networks identifying quadrant centroids (left) and then anatomical confidence maps (right).
