The UC-5000 has 5-kilowatt power versus the 3-kilowatt of a standard portable system, along with a “true uniform wave form” allowing for high-quality spine and hip exams, according to Schaumburg.
The company has seen additional applications in the weight-loss market, specifically with the Obalon balloon system, which is a pill that the patient swallows that requires a high-resolution X-Ray before it is inflated in the patient’s stomach, where it takes up space, resulting in the patient eating less.

Dr. David Cohen, the founder and medical director of Teleradiology Specialists, said in a testimonial, after reviewing chest, lumbar spine, shoulder and extremity exams from the UC-5000, that the images were “of the highest diagnostic quality. … I find the quality remarkable considering the images were produced by a lower-power unit.”
The company has had more than 50 installations of the UC-5000 since its FDA approval and release last summer.
