Carestream is a medical imaging technology company established in 2007 after the medical business division of Kodak, famous for camera film, was spun off. The DRX-Rise is an innovative imaging diagnostic device that enhances convenience with a weight of around 450 kg, which is 19% lighter compared to Carestream's existing mobile X-ray device, the 'DRX-Revolution.'

The DRX-Rise features a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery that allows imaging with a short charging time. It also applies a dual touchscreen display designed to enable imaging diagnostic work through two screens, thereby improving usability for medical staff. Noise during equipment movement has been reduced to minimize noise when moving the device within wards, and sensors have been inserted into the tube handle part to allow medical staff to easily retract the tube after imaging, adding functions that enhance user convenience.

A JW Medical official said, "The DRX-Rise will provide convenience to the working environment of medical staff," adding, "We will lead the domestic market by introducing an innovative imaging diagnostic device that enhances usability while improving image quality."
