Micro-X Limited's Rover system is a mobile X-ray unit designed for use at a patient's bedside. The product is centered around the company's proprietary Nano Electronic X-ray Technology.
The updated model incorporates several modifications, including a different type of high-resolution imaging panel that does not use glass, a charging system that allows the device to power up while stored in its docking station, and a user interface with a bigger screen. Micro-X Limited's overall mobile X-ray unit design remains focused on being lightweight and easy to maneuver without a motor.
The company will also be displaying conceptual models for future portable CT scanners — one intended for full-body use and another specifically for stroke diagnosis in ambulances — at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting in Chicago this November.
