At the time and even now, there is nothing similar to the Lodox scanner in the medical x-ray industry. The Lodox scanner is unique in its ability to provide a full-body x-ray image within minutes after a 13 second scan. The quality of the image is similar to the best x-ray quality available from conventional digital x-ray machines. However, it is unique in the sense that it can obtain a full body x-ray picture with only one scan by the machine, where conventional x-rays can only cover a single section of the body per scan. (One would normally need at least 6-10 conventional x-rays to cover the whole body.)
