FITCHBURG, MASS. December 3, 2018 – Image Diagnostics Inc., a leading manufacturer of specialized diagnostic imaging equipment, showcased products at this year’s RSNA that are expected to radically improve occupational health and efficiency for interventional surgery. Two featured products located at the Image Diagnostics booth were the Protego Radiology Shield, currently in development, and the ilex55, available now for purchase.

Key products featured at the Image Diagnostics booth during RSNA 2018:

Protego Radiology Shield
Image Diagnostics recently entered into a product development agreement with ECLS, Inc., a company founded by James Goldstein, MD to design a groundbreaking radiation shield aiming for apron free imaging that is now in development and undergoing testing. Dr. Goldstein, a cardiologist at Royal Oak Michigan’s Beaumont Hospital is an innovator in his field for over 35 years. The radiation shield is expected to mark a new era for the safety of interventional suite personnel, addressing the adverse health effects of radiation exposure including orthopedic injuries caused by long term wear of protective lead along with cataracts and cancers.

“Our system currently in development is designed with a radiation shielding apparatus to facilitate performance of fluoroscopic catheterization procedures with unprecedented radiation reduction,” said Dr. James Goldstein. “Decreasing the risk of cancer and cataracts and eliminating the need of wearing protective lead that often causes orthopedic burdens, we expect it to cause a paradigm shift in the occupational health of interventionalists.”

Ilex55
Also at the Image Diagnostic’s RSNA booth is the world’s first large field 4k mobile and multi-modality monitor system, ilex55. This product provides revolutionary surgical imaging capabilities in a mobile platform for hospitals and surgery centers. Its breakthrough technology optimizes clinical images during GI, general, orthopedic, spine and vascular, hybrid surgery. It can be rolled into the OR when needed and easily moved from room to room.

“Image Diagnostics Inc. introduced portable video integration in 2013 with the MDS.” said Mark Hansen, Image Diagnostics’ Vice President of Product Development. “The ilex55 represents our commitment to the evolution of lower cost, high value video integration solutions. The platform displays multi-modality images from a wide variety of sources in a single, side by side or quad view. Providing state of the art imaging capabilities, maximum flexibility and economic advantages, ilex55 is a trusted alternative to fixed equipment/monitor booms or high-cost hybrid OR equipment.”
