Optimal Patient Positioning for X-Ray Imaging

Clear Image Devices (CiD) is the imaging technician’s answer to the challenge of optimal patient positioning

for X-ray imaging. We engineer and build products that enable accurate imaging results, as well as

products that protect imaging panels from damage.

CiD’s products are designed for safety and are compatible with most commercial imaging systems.

Additionally, CiD can work collaboratively with you to develop custom devices that address the unique

challenges of your imaging environment.

CiD works closely with hospital and clinical radiology technicians to develop products that increase lab

productivity, prevent expensive equipment damage, improve patient satisfaction

and produce the most accurate X-ray imaging results.

Our professional research and development staff has been developing clinical and research-related

products for over twenty years. Our patient positioning and equipment protection

devices reflect this long-termcommitment to innovative

product development.

Custom Solutions

Clear Image Devices welcomes the opportunity to work with hospitals and clinics to create unique new devices that are suited to your individual practice needs.

Before developing any custom solution, we provide a free initial consultation during which we discuss your project criteria and ensure that the scope is within the expertise of CiD.

During development, our project engineers work with you to create a device specification identifying the required features, methods of use, and materials to be used in fabrication. The amount of documentation and formality will vary depending on the complexity of the project.

We then build 2–3 prototypes, receiving feedback from the use of each to help with the next version until we reach a practice-ready device. For designs which may result in CiD-developed commercial products, CiD may waive part or all of the development fees.
