Multiple Benefits

DR BOX enables images to be stored on disc and read remotely through telemedicine. Its 21 megapixel resolution is enviable and it comes with software to perform basic image manipulation functions. The DR BOX is designed to be reliable and sturdy, and is supported with 24/7 tech support and a full return-to-factory warranty for two years should any detector problems arise.


"DR was expensive in the past but now is affordable. It's like a digital camera: In the beginning they were $600 dollars with only a few megapixels. Now you can buy a 10-megapixel digital camera for $70 and it takes a beautiful picture," Gutierrez said.

He noted that the Latin American market is perfect for A2D2's solution.

Gutierrez states, "I have visited many remote areas during my 40-year career working with diagnostic imaging equipment as an engineer and as a business consultant where they have to send the X-Ray film more than a thousand miles away in the Andes mountains to be analyzed at the capital city. Then they have to wait some weeks to obtain the results. With the DR BOX they can get a fast diagnosis the same day, before the patient gets worse."

"Business is good for low-cost equipment in Latin America," Gutierrez noted. "They often use older X-ray equipment and this new product allows their own equipment to be upgraded to digital without changing systems."
