February 13, 2008 – Carestream Health Inc. recently signed eight contracts for the Kodak Point-of-Care CR-ITX 560 computed radiography platform, providing healthcare facilities with an integrated CR reader/X-ray generator that provides immediate capture and access to medical images.

The CR-ITX 560 can perform diagnostic X-ray imaging at the patient’s bedside in a number of settings, including intensive care units, clinics, nursing homes and hospitals of all sizes. The unit combines a tabletop Kodak CR system and imaging processing software with a Siemens portable X-ray system.
