A key benefit of VolumeRAD compared to a standard X-ray examination is the removal of overlaying and underlying structures, which may improve the detections of lesions. Further benefits are as follows.

• Demonstration of previously occult fractures, not seen on standard digital radiography imaging
• anatomical delineation
• Potential cuts in number of views required
• Potential for rapid diagnosis and savings on further imaging

"VolumeRAD is an enhanced, innovative X-ray procedure with a workflow similar to standard X-ray examinations. It can be performed with patients in the erect or supine position. VolumeRAD provides volumetric data about the anatomy, which greatly enhances the information that is provided by an X-ray examination. We expect improved productivity, early detection and prompt patient treatment; with better utilization of the radiography room, and avoidance of some unnecessary CT, MR, and bone scan examinations. This can potentially lead to a considerable economic benefit. We are optimistic that over time many new applications will emerge where VolumeRAD will prove beneficial. We are just at the beginning…”

Multislice Imaging
Overlying structures in a projection X-ray may obscure critical details or mimic malignancies that are not real. Multislice imaging removes overlying structures and allows an unobstructed view on the anatomical details of the patient body.

VolumeRAD provides multislice images from a single sweep at the table or wall stand in 11 seconds or less at a dose in the range of a normal X-ray examination. An infinite number of images can be created from the radiographic data. This can help in a solution for fracture resolution, nephrography, and nodule detection within the complexity of the chest. Images are constructed at pre-set defaults, but can be reconstructed from the raw data set.
