Aribex has joined with Idens, maker of a Japanese practice management system, to contribute up to 15 x-ray kits for forensic victim identification use following the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Each kit will include the Nomad handheld x-ray system. Nomad devices will be coupled with digital sensors, software, and laptop computers provided by Idens to create radiographic imaging kits for victim identification.
"In this difficult time, it is appropriate that we join with our friends and business partners in Japan to help bring a level of closure to the countless families that have been affected by this tragedy," said D. Clark Turner, PhD, president and CEO of Aribex. "We're gratified that our product can assist the hardworking forensic scientists who provide this invaluable service."
The first two kits have already been sent by Idens to Iwate Prefecture, one of the most damaged areas.
