Carestream Healthcare International is introducing the latest version of its DRX‑LC Detector, delivering enhanced imaging performance, efficiency, and quality for long‑length imaging across a wide range of exams and clinical environments. Long‑length imaging has traditionally been time‑consuming and complex, often requiring multiple exposures and image stitching. Carestream’s DRX‑LC Detector simplifies this process with single‑shot long‑length imaging, enabling radiographers to capture long‑bone and spine exams in one exposure. This approach reduces hold time, minimizes retakes, and helps improve patient comfort while streamlining workflows. The newest version of the DRX‑LC Detector builds on this foundation by integrating advanced technology and leveraging AI to improve consistency and image quality. Detector Exposure Control (DEC) provides precise, consistent exposure by automatically adjusting imaging parameters to help reduce variability, optimize dose, and improve diagnostic accuracy. Smart Noise Cancellation (SNC) further enhances image clarity by reducing noise while preserving fine detail, enabling high‑quality images with greater confidence and lower dose.

A single engineering and manufacturing platform coordinates the full portfolio, helping to reduce handoffs between suppliers, simplify interfaces, and give customers greater control from design through commissioning.

RAMINVEST HOLDING DIFC today unveiled an integrated commodities ecosystem connecting international suppliers, African buyers, producers and institutional counterparties. At its centre is WINCOMMODITIES, a B2B fulfilment platform giving international exporters access to African markets through consignment inventory held in bonded warehouses. Under the model, exporters place commodities into bonded hubs while retaining title to their goods. Inventory is then sold locally, based on cash-&-carry, in the quantities buyers require, broken lots included, removing the dependency on full-container or vessel-sized transactions. Rather than a conventional marketplace, the ecosystem connects the layers a physical commodity transaction needs: sourcing, inventory positioning, warehousing, logistics, settlement and trade finance.
