The Touch Prime and Touch Prime XE systems are positioned as the first two models of a new generation of ultrasound systems from Carestream. The product line has a scalable, high-performance platform, which promotes both technology migration as well as transducer migration. These systems provide an ideal entry point for Carestream into the ultrasound space, setting the stage for gradual percolation down to the mid-range and point-of-care ultrasound market.

Carestream’s vision to continually advance the medical imaging marketplace through new technology can be seen in the design of its investigational cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) system intended for orthopedic imaging. With this new technology, it is evident that Carestream realized that medical professionals are in dire need of a cost-effective, low-dose, 3D and weight-bearing imaging technique. When available, the CBCT system will combine the best of two modalities, namely the high-resolution, 3D imaging capabilities of CT, and the speed, convenience, radiation dose efficiency and affordability of DR.


Further proof of the company’s success can be seen in how Carestream has elevated its clinical content management to a third-generation, vendor-neutral, standards-based Clinical Collaboration Platform. Its industry-leading data aggregation and data federation capabilities allow it to integrate additional types of multi-disciplinary and unstructured content into the clinical workflow.

“Complementing its growing portfolio of imaging systems, Carestream’s imaging informatics solution set serves to solidify the company’s overall value proposition to an extended imaging enterprise,” noted Daher. “By continually advancing workflow, data management and reporting solutions a where imaging services are consumed, Carestream has gained a competitive edge with its enterprise imaging IT portfolio.”
