Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center recently upgraded its Highlands Ranch location with a full suite of Konica Minolta imaging technology—marking a major step forward for musculoskeletal care.
Imaging Manager Nicole Nicholas, RT(R), shared why the decision was clear:
"Moving into a brand-new facility gave us the rare chance to choose new X-ray equipment. Konica stood out immediately—the software is intuitive, training is minimal, and our techs love the one‑button U‑arm movement. We’re thrilled to pair cutting‑edge tech with our upgraded space.”
At the core of the upgrade is the KDR® Advanced U‑arm, a fully automated system that positions itself based on exam data, reducing manual strain on technologists. Combined with the Manual Overhead X‑ray System, the team now has exceptional flexibility for imaging patients in wheelchairs, on gurneys, or in weight‑bearing positions.
With ULTRA Acquisition Software and the 17” x 48” long-length detector, full-spine and long-bone studies can be captured in a single exposure—delivering high‑resolution images for surgical planning while reducing dose and exam time.
This successful implementation was made possible through the collaborative expertise of CompRay and the Konica Minolta Healthcare team.
We’re so excited for Panorama Orthopedics & Spine Center, and love our happy customers!
