Cedara Software Partners with All-Pro Imaging, a Division of Air
Techniques, to Offer Affordable Computed Radiography Solution
TORONTO, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cedara Software Corp.
(NASDAQ:CDSW/TSX:CDE) a leading independent developer of medical software
technologies for the global healthcare market, announced today that it has
completed a cooperative distribution agreement with Air Techniques Inc. to
create an affordable computed radiography (CR) solution for private practice
clinics and value- conscious hospitals and radiology imaging centers.
Under the terms of the multi-year agreement, All-Pro Imaging, a division of Air
Techniques, will package Cedara's I-Acquire CR(TM) acquisition console software
with its popular ScanX(TM) Digital Imaging System, which it sells through its
nationwide network of medical x-ray dealers.
Ideal for the private practice market, the ScanX-Cedara I-Acquire solution puts
digital imaging well within the reach of physicians, podiatrists, ENT (Ear Nose
and Throat), veterinarians, chiropractors and other specialist users.
"Until now, the high cost of Digital Radiography and hospital sized Computed
Radiography systems has prevented the private practice from enjoying the
advantages of digital imaging," said Jeff Goldstein, President of All-Pro
Imaging and Air Techniques. "Working with Cedara's world class engineering team
we felt confident we could build a solution to successfully fit this market.
And we did. Both our free-standing and desktop units are dramatically more
affordable than anything else on the market, and we didn't sacrifice anything
in image quality to do it."
"We are delighted to partner with the All-Pro Imaging division of Air
Techniques, a truly unique success story in the medical industry," said Abe
Schwartz, Cedara President and CEO. "Air Techniques was founded many years ago
on the same enduring principles on which it operates today - delivering high
quality products and services while treating its customers and employees in an
exceptional manner."
Cedara I-Acquire CR, an image acquisition solution designed for computed
radiography systems, is a part of Cedara's complete line of universal
acquisition consoles. These multi-purpose console applications enable medical
device manufacturers and system integrators to create competitive computed
radiography, digital radiography, mammography, and film-digitizer acquisition
systems with powerful workflow and image processing capabilities on a wide
variety of image acquisition devices.
