Side by side

Nanox tweets "It's time to move forward. It's time for Nanox."

Maybe it is the Twitter limitation, but it is not clear what Nanox meant to write.

On the left, we have Hologic EPEX digital x-ray system, introduced in 1999.  On the right, we have a device that simply cannot take Chest PA, the most common medical x-ray image worldwide, even if it weren't fake.

Is Nanox finally admitting that the latest version of its multi-source device, the one that Nanox is promoting here, is the equivalent of an ancient x-ray machine?

The Hologic system had an introductory list price of $395,000.  Nanox says free, $10,000, or tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the day.

Please let me know, if you know the clearance, or 510(k), number for the Hologic device.  The Nanox device has not been submitted for clearance, according to Nanox.  Therefore, it cannot be promoted.  "For demonstration purposes only" does not really cut it, but that's for the FDA to decide, of course.

Update:  Here is how one more modern and cleared x-ray machine looks like (list price is below $10,000, I believe, detector excluded).  X-ray is not x-ray, it seems.
