RevealTM Mobi Pro is a mobile X-ray system that incorporates the RevealTM 35C detector with SpectralDR® technology. From a single X-ray exposure, the system produces a conventional X-ray image along with supplemental bone and soft tissue views. These additional views are designed to provide clinicians with more information to support image review.
The system is designed for mobile imaging at the bedside, in intensive care units, emergency departments, and other clinical settings where patient mobility may be limited. By enabling imaging closer to the patient, Reveal™ Mobi Pro supports established mobile radiography workflows across a variety of care environments.
For participating organizations, the agreement provides a common procurement pathway and access to installation, training and implementation support.
