Optimized radiation dose management
DoseWatch™ is a holistic, enterprise-wide dose management solution to track and manage radiation and contrast exposure within the patient workflow across a full-fleet (multi-facility, multi-modality) of imaging environments.
DoseWatch automatically collects and analyzes radiation and contrast dosage data across facilities, modalities, and manufacturers within your imaging network to enable compliance. These automatic tracking capabilities make it easy to access a wide range of data to ensure low dosage strategies.
HOW IT WORKS
DoseWatch automatically detects outliers in dosing data and provides insight into their root causes, while easily documenting these anomalies for review.
Using the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and your medical devices, DoseWatch captures, tracks, and reports radiation and contrast dose across modalities and manufacturers. The following modalities are currently supported on DoseWatch:
- CT systems
- Contrast injection systems 1
- Interventional Radiology (IR) systems
- Cardio-Vascular (CV) systems
- Mammography systems
- Radiography systems
- Surgical/mobile C-arms
- Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging systems 2
DoseWatch 3.1
Drive better-informed, patient-centered care
Delivering high quality patient care is a top priority. Incorporating DoseWatch 3.1 into your imaging practices ensures it stays that way––with state-of-the-art technology that helps clinicians use appropriate radiation levels and deliver better-informed, patient-centered, and effective care.
4D Skin Dose Map3
DoseWatch 3.1 provides an interactive tool to support the post-procedure review conducted by the interventional imaging physician or medical physicist as they perform their comprehensive assessment of skin injury risk.
Organ dose dosimetry technology from Duke University3
This module estimates organ dosages based on licensed dosimetry technology developed by Duke University. Using the XCAT phantom library of patient models, it gives an absorbed dose estimation based on Duke University’s algorithm.
Dose to Fetus
DoseWatch 3.1 allows clinicians to take a closer look at the impact of radiation on pregnant patients and their babies with the new Dose to Fetus feature. This feature simplifies and standardizes estimates of fetal radiation exposure by automatically incorporating factors like the mother’s measurements and fetal depth.
Dose Management
GE Healthcare can help you develop an effective program to ensure the comfort and quality of patient care with DoseWatch.
