Turner Imaging System also believes there is a need for a high quality portable x-ray system and is currently developing the SMART-C® X-ray Imaging System to meet that need. At just 16 lbs, the SMART-C® X-ray Imaging System, which has not yet received FDA Clearance, is a truly portable lightweight, cordless, battery powered system. The SMART-C® will offer clear, readable images of the most common sports injuries such as knees, feet, hands, and elbows. Why use someone else’s x-ray? In it’s carry case, the SMART-C® can be checked through as airline luggage and transported to the game in the trunk of a car.
