SmartLight to introduce new viewer at RSNA

Israeli computerized light box developer SmartLight plans to introduce a new, mid-level motorized viewer at the upcoming RSNA show. The company’s SL8000 SLX Smart Motorized Viewer carries all of SmartLight’s motorized viewer technology and is ticketed at a reasonable price, according to Robert Sohval, Ph.D., chairman of SmartLight. The unit can be configured with Smartlight’s Archive Wizard technology, a function that enables viewers to control the storage and display of images, and can be upgraded with MamPac, a mammography screening package, and ID Master, a feature giving radiologists access to their own cases with the push of a button. The Haifa, Israel-based firm received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for its first two motorized viewers, SL8000 and SL8000 DLX, in 1997 (SCAN 1/21/98).
