Leadership in Dose Optimization Tools
Tools designed to help manage patient and operator X-ray exposure.
The increase of variety, frequency and complexity of fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures pose many challenges for radiation protection of patients and staff.1
“The partial X-ray projection [in CT] is a great feature, just because it directs the X-rays away from the technologist and myself.”2

Angiography
Comprehensive dose management
- Select the optimal dose level based on the patient’s and procedural needs
- Digitally increase image size without field of view magnification
- Visualize estimated peak skin dose in real-time
CT3
A better balance between image quality and dose
- Exposure control tools that ensure optimum dose while maintaining image quality
- Reduce patient exposure at specific tube angles during CT scan
- Reduce patient and operator exposure with directional control of X-ray beam during CT Fluoroscopy
X-ray
Trusted dose management for patients and operators
- 3 Variable dose modes available during fluoroscopy
- Beam hardening filter that cuts low and high energy radiation
- Store acquired fluoroscopic images
