LG Electronics has unveiled three medical imaging devices at an industry fair in Chicago, the company announced on Nov. 28
It was the first time that LG displayed its medical imaging devices at an annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, a nonprofit organization of radiologists, in Chicago. The meeting began its five-day run on Nov. 27.
The three devices are a monitor for a surgical operating room, a monitor for diagnosis and a digital X-ray detector, LG said in a statement.
Using the company’s competitive edge in high-end display panels, LG said it will seek to supply reliable and innovative medical imaging solutions.
The 27-inch monitor for surgical operations features an ultra-high-definition panel and a high-resolution surgical display, enabling stable and reliable operation, LG said.
Instead of using traditional photographic films, the digital X-ray detector allows radiologists to digitally transfer and enhance images.
LG plans to begin selling the two monitors next month and the digital X-ray detector next year.
