In healthcare technology, we often encounter situations where a nearly perfect solution falls short due to integration challenges. This article explores how DMS Group and its subsidiary Apelem partnered with Adimec to create an innovative Camera Lens Assembly compatible with their imaging systems.

Understanding the Challenge

The medical imaging industry requires solutions that balance performance, reliability, and compatibility. For DMS Group’s upgrade of a remote-controlled radiology table, they needed a high-resolution CCD TV camera without compromising on system integration requirements.

This presented several unique challenges:

  • Medical systems demand exceptional reliability and precision
  • Design processes require seamless collaboration between manufacturers
  • Interface compatibility is often the deciding factor in medical equipment upgrades

The Collaborative Solution

Adimec’s expertise in X-ray imaging provided a solid foundation for this challenging project. Their PEARL X-ray camera, with over two decades of refinement, offered superior image quality and system flexibility.

However, the standard interface didn’t meet Apelem’s requirements. This prompted a creative solution:

  • Designing an integrated converter to bridge the initial compatibility gap
  • Developing a custom GigE Vision interface specifically for the final product
  • Maintaining design consistency through shared technology platforms

This collaborative approach allowed them to preserve system reliability while introducing next-generation connectivity.

The Impact

The resulting system demonstrates how technical partnerships can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles:

  • Performance improvements matched by cost stability
  • Seamless integration with existing medical workflows
  • Enhanced patient safety through reduced radiation exposure
  • Future-readiness enabled by the modular GigE Vision interface

This case study highlights that even when perfect solutions aren’t available, creative collaboration and technical expertise can deliver superior results in complex fields like medical imaging.
