X-ray vendor Trex Medical this month announced a new name for its radiographic and R/F product line that reflects component changes the company has made to its systems. The Danbury, CT-based firms Heritage Series consists of standardized versions of the companys existing radiographic and R/F configurations, such as its general radiographic unit, designed for general office use; its orthopedic system, which features a standard table and HFQ 1000 generator; its ER device, which allows users to conduct a full range of anatomical studies; its VIP unit, which includes an integrated tube stand and film receptor; its PMT tomography system, for general purpose and tomography procedures; and its RT-125 device, designed for pediatric applications. The series also includes Trexs 4000M digital chest unit and its 2200I digital radiographic/fluoroscopic device.
With the Heritage Series, Trex consolidates its product line, using the same components across all its divisions. This shift centralizes Trexs manufacturing operations at its Littleton, MA, facility, and produces increased economies of scale. Now-standard components include such items as the HFQ 1000 generator previously used only in Bennetts products, and a radiographic table and overhead tube stand produced by Continental. Devices in the Heritage Series will remain at their existing price points, according to Trex spokesperson John Macko.

Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
