Fidex: CT, DR, and fluoroscopy in one machine
Fidex: CT, DR, and fluoroscopy in one machine
Animage, LLC has developed Fidex, a three-modality diagnostic imaging system designed for veterinary practices and research laboratories. Fidex integrates computed tomography (CT), digital radiography (DR), and fluoroscopy into a single machine, offering significant space, energy, and cost savings.
System Configuration and Benefits
Fidex can be configured as a one-, two-, or three-modality system, making advanced imaging more accessible to veterinary practices. It operates on a standard 120 V outlet, requires minimal space and cooling, and is easy to install and operate. The system supports DICOM-compliant image export for seamless integration with radiology workstations.
Technology and Imaging Capabilities
Fidex employs cone-beam CT technology with a dynamic flat panel DR detector, allowing for 3D visualization and detailed imaging. The system's CT images resolve detail below 200 microns, while DR and fluoroscopy resolve below 100 microns. Fidex's software includes advanced image reconstruction and visualization tools.
Specifications
Fidex features a rotating anode X-ray source, a motorized patient table, and a C-arm gantry. It supports various scan modes, including cone-beam CT and high-quality fluoroscopy. The system's power consumption is less than 250 W, and it operates on both 120 V and 240 V power sources.
Corporate Information
Animage, LLC, founded in 2008, is a subsidiary of Exxim Computing Corporation, specializing in 3D imaging technologies. Exxim provides products for medical and non-destructive testing applications.

Catalog excerpts
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.
