Low-dose CT scans

“Smart ultra low dose” CT examinations.
The latest intelligent technology that enables the highest-quality images with the lowest radiation dose, contributing to more precise diagnoses. Optimization and calculation of the minimum radiation dose according to the patient’s constitution, providing the highest image quality with a minimal radiation dose.

“Smart dose” includes:
– kV Assist – customized protocols for each patient, clinical indication, and every anatomical scan area.
– ASiR – the first iterative image reconstruction with around 47 million scanned patients since 2008.
– ASiR-V – the latest image reconstruction technology designed to reduce artifacts that occur during examinations and improve low-contrast detectability, routinely reducing dose by up to 82% for patients of all age groups1
– Veo – the world’s first iterative reconstruction model that provides images below 1mSv with high clarity2
– Organ Dose Modulation– automatically reduces dose for superficial tissues such as the eyes and chest, creating a virtual shield for sensitive anatomy
– 3 D Dose Modulation – SmartmA automatic dose modulation and AutomA – enables us to personalize protocols and optimize dose for each patient – large and small.
– Dose reporting – provides access to CTDIvol and DLP with patient data before and after the examination.
– Dose check – provides potential dose alerts and warnings if a predetermined dose will be exceeded.
– CT 4Kids – Protocols optimized for the pediatric population
– DoseWatch – web-based radiation dose monitoring software used to record, track, and report radiation dose directly from any imaging device or PACS..
– 150+ customized protocols according to the patient’s constitution with an optimized minimum radiation dose, designed, developed, and validated by experts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and applied to both the adult and pediatric population.
– 2,400,000+ diagnostic examinations collected using DoseWatch Explore *

1- Image quality as defined by low contrast detectability. In clinical practice, the use of ASiR-V may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality…

2- In clinical practice, the use of ASiR, ASiR-V and Veo may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task. ASiR-V low contrast detectability (LCD), image noise, spatial resolution and artifact were assessed using reference factory protocols comparing ASiR-V and FBP.</font size=”1″>
