Siemens Healthineers announced Monday, Jan. 21, that its Multix Impact digital radiography (DR) system has received FDA clearance.

The floor-mounted system includes a free-floating tabletop, a touch user interface on the x-ray tube and tracking features that make it easier for technologists to use.

And the system’s highly competitive price allows more providers to deliver high-quality results and strengthen their reputation as reliable imaging partners.”
