New units support early detection of COVID-19 pneumonia WATERLOO, ON (May 17, 2021) KA Imaging, a developer of innovative X-ray imaging technologies and systems, today announced that it has installed two new mobile X-ray units within the University Health Network (UHN) to enhance current clinical studies and support patient care. One new unit is being used at the Princess...
Reveal™ 35C is available in Canada and the USA. Contact us for inquiries and availability in other countries.Reveal™ 35C is the world's first and only single exposure, portable, digital dual-energy subtraction (DES) X-ray detector that overcomes previous DES technical limitations. This detector raised the possibility...
Reveal™ 35C’s detective quantum efficiency (DQE) is as high as 75%, and this higher DQE requires less radiation to produce a better image. DE imaging showed improvement in the 2013 study by an average factor of 4.7 compared to conventional X-rays without increasing image acquisition dose....
The Discovery In 1895, German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen was studying electron beams when he made an accidental discovery4. He noticed that when he covered a Crookes tube (an early vacuum tube that produces electron beams) with cardboard, a faint glow came from a screen painted with...

Dual energy has been shown to detect more solitary pulmonary nodules, pneumothorax, pneumonia, tuberculosis and coronary calcium than conventional analog or digital chest X-ray. This early detection enables better patient outcomes, additional hospital revenue, cost savings to healthcare systems and reduces exposure to malpractice claims....
Dual-energy bone subtraction radiographs yielded the greatest increase in detection, even when used alone. The study reported the positive result in diagnostic performance with a sensitivity and specificity for pneumothorax detection as 82% and 92%, compared to 70% and 84% in sensitivity and specificity for...
