Finally, X-ray medical imaging within the reach of developing countries

(Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) Two-thirds of humankind does not have access to radiography, essential to the practice of modern medicine. Today in Lausanne, EPFL and its partners present GlobalDiagnostiX, a high-tech device 10 times cheaper when considering existing pieces of equipment together with their maintenance costs, and specifically designed for developing countries. Famous economist Jeffrey Sachs is enthusiastic about this project!
