GEO at ECR 2013

 

Introducing the New Brand and New Modality

 

In the XGEO exhibit, GC80, which targets large- and medium-sized hospitals, will introduce Samsung Electronics’ high-quality DR performance through panel detectors. Even with dose reduction, XGEO GC80 still guarantees accurate images and diagnosis which are critical for the health and safety of patients. Attendees will also have a chance to look into soft handling technology that allows users to move the device with low physical pressure even without a side-handle.

 

The UGEO exhibit highlights ultrasound systems that are equipped with increased functionality and performance. The upgraded Accuvix A30, which features the **Single Crystal Transducer optimized for radiology, will also be introduced. Additionally, Samsung Electronics will display portable CT products from NeuroLogica for the first time. The company was acquired by Samsung Electronics earlier in 2013.
