Carestream Health has introduced Motion Mobile, a mobile x-ray offering that can be upgraded from a computed radiography (CR) system to a wireless digital radiography (DR) unit.
The compact system features a balanced and articulating arm, a 30-kW generator, and an 8-inch touchscreen monitor, according to the vendor. It also offers a manual or anatomical programmed radiography (APR) mode for selecting exam techniques as well as push-button or hand switch-controlled exposures, Carestream said.
While it can be purchased as CR system, a DR retrofit upgrade adds the vendor's DRX-1 or DRX Plus detectors, a 19-inch touchscreen monitor, and other features, Carestream said. In addition, a dose-area product (DAP) and x-ray generator interface automatically acquires DAP and technique information to monitor patient dose. Motion Mobile supports the sharing of a DRX detector among multiple Carestream DRX imaging systems.
The company's DirectView software is also included, providing image display and delivery to PACS or printers. Motion Mobile can currently be ordered only by customers in Europe, Latin America, and other countries outside of North America, according to the vendor. Shipments are expected to begin in December.
![Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based z-score calculator (https://circ-ml.github.io).](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/body-comp.XgAjTfPj1W.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
