“To save the lives of the critically injured, the period following an injury is deemed to be “the golden hour”. 13 Seconds, however, can be priceless!

The Lodox Statscan is a digital x-ray system that can produce clear, diagnostic whole-body x-ray pictures in just 13 seconds. The system ensures easy access to the patient with a minimum of manoeuvring and at an extremely low radiation dose (both scattered and entrance) so that trauma and emergency (ER) staff can continue to provide critical life support. The entire body is scanned, so it quickly picks up multiple injuries that do not always show up on conventional sized x-rays.

For triage and in a disaster situation the radiography friendly Statscan handles multiple patients much faster than competing modalities. Positive outcomes are enhanced, not only for patients, but also for trauma & emergency (ER) staff who are subjected to stress when having to make less informed decisions.

Statscan has also found multiple other uses and is competing with diagnostic x-rays in certain applications in the following areas: bone cancer screening, bariatrics, paediatrics, forensics
and arteriograms.
