Design Specifications

Reveal 35C uses a three layer stacked sensor design to produce three X-ray images using a single conventional chest X-ray exposure. The X-ray images can then be used to generate a conventional digital radiography, a bone subtracted and a soft tissue subtracted X-ray image, and lateral view dual energy X-ray images. The device is intended to be used in a similar way as a conventional digital X-ray detector.  

Product Schematics

Technical Support

Replacement Components

Lithium battery

Lifecycle

5-10 years

Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters

Enable bone and soft tissue images in a single X-ray exposure

Vetted Performance Status

There is an ongoing lung cancer clinical trial with 30 patients at Grand River Hospital and a second, IRB-approved COVID-19 clinical trial with 600 patients with Princess Margaret Hospital and University of Toronto that began in June 2020. The product has since been FDA 510(k) cleared and Health Canada approved and is available for sale in the USA and Canada. Reveal 35C has also been certified under several performance standards.  

Safety

Standard precaution with X-ray devices of safety factors such as radiation exposure should be taken

Complementary Technical Systems

A laptop or computer is needed to operate the device, an anti scatter grid can be supplied upon request
