Fidex: CT, DR, and fluoroscopy in one machine Animage, LLC, has created a new three-modality diagnostic imaging system, Fidex, for companion animal veterinary practice and research laboratories. Fidex combines into a single machine: computed tomography (CT), digital radiography (DR), and fluoroscopy. Fidex can also be configured as a one-, or two-modality system. Fidex’s combination of these modalities into one machine conserves valuable space and financial resources, as well as energy and other operational expenses, thus making the clinical and economic advantages of in-house CT capability vastly more achievable.

Fidex The combination of CT, radiography, and fluoroscopy in one machine creates unprecedented economies of space, energy, and financial resources. Because of this, Fidex can put the benefits of the diagnostic power of CT at the service of many more veterinarians, their patients, and the people who love their patients.
