At the key moments of the exam
In real-time for the radiographer and off-line for the radiologist
is the threshold for investigation of possible corrective action recommended by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 151 (TG-151) for pediatric patients, increasing to 10% for adults [1]
are the most common source of repeats, accounting for up to 68% of repeats, followed by exposure technique mistakes [2] [3]
Assisting the users at the key moments of the exam
Remotely from the workstation, the radiographer can make a last check if patient positioning is still correct before exposure
Remotely from the workstation, the radiographer can guide the patient to correct for unintended movements
Visualising the collimation area enables the radiologist to check if the body part is correct or the positioning
Positioning picture gives to radiologist additional information on body condition e.g. swelling, bruises, wounds
Radiologist can check if tube, lines, buttons, hair, etc. were visible at time of exposure
Archiving pictures that can give evidences of violent treatment against the patient
Accurately positioning the collimation area can be difficult, especially with obese patients or for lateral views. With SmartPositioning, the radiographer can remotely check if the collimation area is correct and if the AEC are properly covered before triggering exposure
Immediate assistance to the radiographer with real-time overlays projected onto the patient on the Tube Head Display
When AECs are not available to automatically adapt the dose, the radiographer gets assistance to increase the dose for overweight patients
No matter if the patient weight has changed, a dose tailored to patient thickness is proposed to the radiographer before exposure
Number of exams repeated due to sub-diagnostic image quality is reduced
