TUCSON, AZ -- February 25, 2005 -- AuntMinnie.com(TM), one of the fastest-growing online resources for radiology professionals worldwide, has announced the launch of its new Orthopedic Imaging Digital Community. This new special section on AuntMinnie.com delivers customized, targeted content on musculoskeletal and orthopedic imaging via the AuntMinnie.com Web site.


The new Orthopedic Imaging Digital Community has been made possible through the sponsorship of Orex, an industry leader in selling distributed computed radiography systems to locations where low-cost, high-quality digital x-ray technology is required. Visitors can reach the new Orthopedic Imaging Digital Community through a link on the AuntMinnie.com Web page, or directly at http://orthopedic.auntminnie.com.

AuntMinnie.com is launching the new Digital Community with daily coverage from this week’s American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting in Washington, DC.

The orthopedics market is growing at a rapid rate and is increasingly adopting medical imaging technology to help diagnose musculoskeletal problems at an earlier stage. Orthopedic care currently represents 10% of all healthcare expenditures and 40% of all emergency room visits. Combined with arthritis, orthopedic-related ailments are the largest category of chronic conditions that are treated in the U.S. Analysts expect this market to maintain a steady growth rate of 10%-14%.
