Pacesetter Medical Imaging (PMI) exhibited at the Iowa Orthopaedic Society’s annual spring meeting held Friday, April 16 at the Sheraton Hotel in West Des Moines.
Highlighted by Pacesetter were the remarkable digitized orthopaedic images acquired on Canon’s flat panel DR systems and Agfa’s CR systems with NX and MUSICA2. These diagnostically detailed images were displayed on a BARCO TS1219 clinical grade LCD touch screen monitor.
The orthopaedic surgeons in attendance were impressed with the difference that quality digitizing equipment, like Canon’s and Agfa’s, combined with installation and applications’ training from a knowledgeable partner, like PMI, can make—not only in quality image output and workflow, but in diagnostic capability and patient outcome.
Pacesetter made the point that there is more to better imaging than just the manufacturer’s decal on the equipment. It takes a knowledgeable and dedicated partner to match the right technology to the installation, and provide the training and support necessary to maintain a sharp imaging edge.

Last summer Pacesetter Medical, Inc. (PMI), Twin Cities Orthopaedics (TCO), and Midwest Radiation Consultants (MRC) donated time, expertise, and an x-ray machine to the Wildcat Sanctuary near Sandstone, MN. The unit was being replaced at TCO as part of their upgrade by PMI to all digital imaging. MRC donated their services for development of the MN Department of Health’s mandated radiation shielding plan, TCO donated the x-ray unit, and PMI donated the installation and calibration of the equipment. This was a great example of business joining forces to both recycle useful equipment, and contribute to the worthy efforts of others.
On Thursday, March 25 (9:00 pm) The Wildcat Sanctuary was featured on The Animal Planet television network’s segment titled “Fatal Attractions.” The Wildcat Sanctuary is a privately funded 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill rescue and shelter facility for unwanted, mistreated, and neglected privately owned wildcats that pose a potential risk to public safety. More than 100 wildcats (Lions, Tigers, Cougars, Lynx, etc.) are lovingly cared for there. It is NOT open to the general public.
Donations and volunteers are needed for the Sanctuary. Please visit their website for more details and information on how you too can help.
