The Lodox Xmplar-dr is a redesigned and rebranded full-body X-ray scanner for trauma and forensic pathology use. The scanner is a South African innovation which performs a head to toe scan in 13 seconds, producing an entirely digital image of extremely high quality while emitting very low levels of harmful radiation.

A rotating C-arm allows these images to be taken at any angle between 0 and 90 degrees. The patented imaging process is entirely unique, and no other machine in the world can replicate the speed, extent, quality and safety of scanning.

Innovations to this version of the product include patient weighing to allow automatic selection of X-ray imaging factors, new user interface to aid workflow, automatic rotation of the C-arm to acquire images at different angles and award-winning redesign allowing improved patient access. In June 2013 Grey's Anatomy, a popular US medical drama television series, featured the Xmplar-dr and described it as "the most cutting-edge tool in diagnostic technology".
