1st Intelligent Interventional Image Chain.
Current imaging challenges in interventional procedures
When a patient is having a heart attack or stroke, seconds matter. Waste time optimizing manual X-ray parameters and irreplaceable tissue may die.
- Interventionalists require high image quality and expect dose to be ALARA.**
- Dose optimization is a complex and tedious task. Most dose reduction features need to be manually adjusted many times during the procedure.
- The learning curve to optimize image quality and dose during a procedure can take years and can be easily lost with radiographer turnover.
- Scientific publications demonstrate that there is an important variability of dose levels for similar procedures and similar patient conditions, whereas systems can be very recent and embed technologies to help reduce x-ray dose.
X-ray dose levels depend mostly on operators and their ability to use all dose reduction features, in real time, all the time. Dose levels can vary significantly from one site to another. They depend on several factors, including operators’ expertise.
** As Low As Reasonably Achievable
AutoRight: Artificial Intelligence that assists you
Fully automated image optimization helps remove the burden of manual adjustment. Automation can make image quality and dose optimization fast, accurate, and repeatable.
AutoRight makes the machine an integral part of the team, capable of relieving clinicians and technologists of the tedious yet complex task of optimizing image quality and dose, helping them focus all their attention on the procedure, leveraging every second to bring their clinical expertise on what matters most: treating patients.
