MobileDaRt Evolution MX9 Premium Version (c type) mobile X-ray system
On April 9, Shimadzu Corporation will release the MobileDaRt Evolution MX9 Version series* of mobile X-ray systems both in Japan and overseas. In addition to the main monitor used by conventional models, the X-ray emitter unit in the Premium Version of this series is equipped with a second monitor and the industry’s first 3D camera (optionally available), thereby contributing to improving the workflow during clinical rounds. The second monitor can display patient information**, camera images, and a variety of imaging conditions, heightening the efficiency of the information checks required before examinations. Shimadzu mobile X-ray systems feature smooth operability with tight turns due to a motorized assist function, and a large monitor built into the main unit, facilitating image checks on the scene. As a result, these models contribute to the well-being (mind/body health and happiness) of both healthcare providers and patients. This series is the flagship model of Shimadzu mobile X-ray systems, more than 8,000 of which have been sold worldwide.*The MobileDaRt Evolution MX9 Version is available in two models: the Premium Version (equipped with a second monitor) and the Standard Version (which has only the main monitor). **The c type is available.
A mobile X-ray system is a diagnostic imaging system that is moved to hospital wards, operating rooms, and emergency areas to perform X-ray examinations. These systems are used by many healthcare providers, so they need to suppress image quality variance due to differences in operational expertise and improve productivity by reducing the frequency of re-imaging. In response, Shimadzu offers VISION SUPPORT, an imaging support function utilizing camera applications. In this product, a second monitor and 3D camera are installed in the X-ray emitter unit, enabling checks of the patient images from the camera, as well as adjustments to the imaging conditions. The angle and distance required for imaging with the 3D camera, an industry first*, are automatically measured. This prevents re-imaging due to positioning errors, thereby contributing to heightened productivity and reduced patient exposure. *Shimadzu in-house investigation
In our medium-term management plan, Shimadzu is promoting a strategy of imagine transformation (IMX), providing new added value using diagnostic imaging instruments, AI, and IoT technology. As part of IMX, Shimadzu is developing mobile X-ray systems that contribute to simpler operability and lower patient exposure, supporting diagnostic imaging that reduces the burden on both healthcare providers and patients.
