Shimadzu brought to market the DIGITEX Safire SP HC and DIGITEX Safire SP HF, two new models in its proprietary angiographic system DIGITEX series, on March 24.

The new models, which consist of a direct conversion-type flat panel detector, X-ray tube, multiple image processing system and monitor, can carry out cardiac examinations and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) at a time. The devices with high operability can deliver ultra high-resolution images while reducing radiation exposure.

Unit prices start from 350 million yen ($3.0 mil). Shimadzu aims to sell 30 units in the first year. The two models will be exhibited at the International Technical Exhibition of Medical Imaging 2006 to be held at Pacifico Yokohama from April 7 to 9.
