The Kalare system was created to optimize patient safety in every possible way, whether it's by utilizing today's most advanced low-dose technologies or adding an extra margin of safety against unwanted events.
Limiting radiation is critical when creating a safe operating environment for you and your patients. Managing dose comes down to a few fundamentals: time, distance and shielding. Canon Medical Systems' commitment to radiation safety results in continuous enhancements of features to help you achieve your goal of: As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
Canon Medical Systems can help you eliminate fluoroscopy time with grid pulse fluoro, virtual collimation, and Last Image Hold (LIH) store. Utilizing these tools will help you significantly reduce radiation to the patient and staff.
During a fluoroscopy exam, it is difficult to increase your distance from scatter radiation when you have to control the spot film device and position the patient. Canon Medical Systems has developed many features designed to reduce exposure to scatter radiation.
Additional lead shielding from scatter radiation is provided by the lead curtain of the spot film device, the pantograph arm for the bucky slot opening, and our fully enclosed tub.
The Kalare RF system provides high quality imaging, shield features, and dose control to provide optimal clinical conditions for both the staff and patient.
Digital imaging requires less maintenance than film or CR cassettes, reduces total exam time as images are processed and displayed instantaneously, allowing you to reduce dose exposure as a result of eliminating repeat views, and allows you to edit, enhance, and archive images more quickly and easily.
192 customizable anatomical program functions allow the operator to select the optimal function for the procedure to help minimize exposure.
Lock the system from the tableside with just a push of a button to help reduce the risk of accidental exposures when the operator steps away.
Lead shielding is provided by the lead curtain of the spot film device and the pantograph arm for the bucky slot opening to further reduce the operator’s exposure to scatter radiation.
The Kalare i.i. offers 3 variable dose modes including continuous fluoro, pulsed fluoro, and grid pulsed fluoro so users can select the optimal dose mode based on their patient’s and procedural needs.
Grid pulse fluoro function lowers patient dose by reducing X-ray exposure that doesn’t contribute to the diagnostic image. Grid pulse fluoro features in-tube grid switching that virtually eliminates leading and trailing edge of soft X-rays for a more efficient pulse fluoroscopy.
Grid Pulsed Fluoro DemoThe Digital Compensation Filter (DCF) provides real time enhancement of fluoroscopic images to obtain optimum image quality under the most difficult circumstances.
