ANAHEIM, Calif., June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- PAL Health Technologies will debut the new Xtremityscan System and give away a free unit at the Western Podiatric Medical Conference in Anaheim, California, June 19-22 at the Disneyland Hotel.

Xtremityscan's advanced imaging software, the PAL Scanmanager, features a user-friendly electronic patient database, custom prescription orthotic ordering solutions, and simple online ordering, resulting in faster orthotic production and delivery.
