Carestream Health has signed a distribution agreement with Apelem for its high-techremote controlled radiographic tables.
The distribution agreement will see Carestream sell two platinum tables developed by Apelem, a subsidiary of France’s leading developer in imagery radiology systems, DMS, exclusively to customers across France and Belgium.
Jean-Paul Ansel, managing director of DMS, said: “We are extremely proud that Carestream Health, a world leader in the medical imaging field, should show interest in our new remote controlled radiographic table solution.

“We have been particularly impressed by the technical capabilities of the Platinum radiographic table, as well as by its design and the diagnostic aids developed by DMS which make this table unique in its market.”
