ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Carestream Health, Inc. introduced a new radiographic table for use with its KODAK DIRECTVIEW Digital Radiography systems that is lightweight, easy to adjust and offers even more flexible patient positioning. This versatile table can also be used for computed radiography and film-based procedures. It is available immediately in Canada, Europe and the United States, as well as most Arab, Asian and Pacific Rim countries.

This elevated table with four-way floating tabletop offers a new pedestal design that allows it to be positioned at any angle to the detector. The table is narrower to facilitate cross table exams and offers a floor pivot that facilitates auto-positioning.

Other key features include:

-Pedals for both up and down movement

-Brakes on every wheel offer greater stability and patient safety; brakes are set and released simultaneously with a foot pedal.

-Complete length of tabletop (212 cm/83.5 inches) can be x-rayed; and

-One-step bar for float release.

Carestream Health, an independent company, has licensed the Kodak brand for use with its own brands-such as CARESTREAM, DIRECTVIEW and DRYVIEW-across its portfolio of leading-edge medical imaging and healthcare IT products.
