PracticeWorks Systems of Atlanta recently donated 20 Kodak RVG digital radiography (DR) systems to Mercy Ships, a global charity that operates ships providing medical and dental care to residents of developing nations.
The intraoral sensors are in use at mobile clinics and onboard the charity hospital ship Africa Mercy to provide digital x-rays for patients receiving dental care during the ship's nine-month deployment to Benin, West Africa.
The Africa Mercy contains six operating rooms, an intensive care unit, and ward space for up to 78 patients. Volunteer dentists, physicians, surgeons, and medical staff from more than 30 nations serve onboard.
