WAYNE, N.J., Nov. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc., announces the launch of the mKDR Xpress™ Mobile X-ray System and the AeroDR^® Carbon Flat Panel Detector, two solutions that are powerful alone yet extraordinary when used together. These new solutions reaffirm Konica Minolta’s commitment to digital radiography by enabling clinicians to realize greater potential with X-ray, the most widely available diagnostic imaging modality and often the first imaging test a patient receives.
