CARE Dose4D

• Achieve the best diagnostic image quality at lowest possible dose, independent of patient size and anatomy.
• Fully automated dose management for adults and children with up to 68% dose reduction.

CARE Filter

• Specially designed X-ray exposure filter installed at the tube collimator. Up to 25% dose reduction with increased image quality.

CINE Display

• Display of image sequences
• Interactively with mouse controlled rate or automatically

Image Transfer / Networking

Interface for transmitting medical images and information in the DICOM industrial standard. Permits communication between devices from different manufacturers.

• DICOM Storage (send/receive)
• DICOM Query/Retrieve
• DICOM Basic print

• DICOM MPPS (Modality Performed Procedure Step)
• DICOM Storage Commitment
• DICOM Viewer on CD

Pediatric protocols

• Special clinical protocols with 80 or 110 kV selection and a wide range of mAs settings. The X-ray exposure is adapted to the child’s (and small adults) weight and age, substantially reducing the effective patient dose.

Real-Time MPR

• Real-time multiplanar reformatting of secondary views
• Variable slice thickness (MPR thick, MPR thin) and distance with configurable default values.
• Viewing perspectives
  • Sagittal
  • Coronal
  • Oblique
  • double oblique
  • freehand (curvilinear)

SureView

• Multislice Spiral Image Reconstruction
• Brilliant image quality and dose savings up to 20% in spiral mode.

• Three-dimensional display of surfaces with different density values
  • Soft tissue
  • Bone
  • Contrast-enhanced vessels

UFC – Ultra Fast Ceramic Detector

• Low patient dose. Up to 30% dose reduction in relation to conventional CT detectors.
• More power. More or longer spirals due to low mAs requirements for best possible image quality.
• More speed. Ultra short afterglow. Specially developed for sub-second and multislice applications requiring a higher projection rate.
