Findings from a recent landmark clinical trial demonstrate that, during coronary angiographies, equivalent image quality can be achieved using a 50% reduction in radiation dose compared to a traditional imaging system. In other types of clinical applications, such as DSA angiography, studies have shown dose reduction of up to 83%. Traditionally, the use of lower doses of radiation during interventional X-ray procedures resulted in a deterioration of the image quality, which could adversely affect the accuracy of the diagnosis and treatment by the clinician. Now, with Philips’ClarityIQ technology, clinicians can reduce the doses to which a patient is exposed without sacrificing image quality, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of their diagnosis and treatment. The Allura Clarity family from Philips is the first X-ray system with the new ClarityIQ technology. It offers industry-leading image quality, equivalent to the Allura Xper generation, at a fraction of the dose during coronary angiographics.

Vue Motion offers the user high resolution images. Regardless of location, authorised users such as the referring physician can access the entire imaging patient portfolio anytime, anywhere. Pure-web and platform-independent technologies provide access from multiple operating systems and from virtually any browser-enabled device. The system supports the display of clinical data from single or multiple sources, providing the referring physician a single point of access to the entire patient file, including a full report history and relevant prior exams and supporting data.
Along with simple to use viewing tools such as zoom, pan, window, line measurements and cine, collaboration with other users is not compromised. The system also supports sticky notes communication, including indication of critical results. With a single click, a physician can send a link of the exam inside an email message to professional colleagues for second opinions.
Thanks to its intuitive design, users require little or no training. Zero footprint means no application software to install or maintain. The viewing experience is enhanced with high-speed performance when pure web based technology is supported by a back-end rendering and streaming mechanism.Available as an independent viewer, the system can also be integrated within an EMR or EHR portal, either as an embedded application or activated in a separate window through URL activation. Multiple logins are eliminated, saving end users time to access relevant patient information. The system also includes Web service access available for direct access to the data, and enables access to data originating from a variety of clinical systems.

The new CR 12-X computed radiography (CR) system offers a costeffective solution for lower-volume hospitals and private practices to benefit from the advantages of digital radiography. The tabletop system allows the customer to configure the workflow as needed, and makes no compromises in image quality. With the new smart and simple design, the CR 12-X can be adjusted by the user to meet the specific need for high image quality and workflow. The user can select the default speed and resolution desired, and can also overwrite that default setting for any exam. The result is a customer-chosen optimal workflow.

The Vita XE CR Imaging System is a tabletop computed radiography system which produces diagnostic quality images at a speed of 60+ plates per hour and is an ideal fit for smaller hospitals, imaging centres, clinics and private practices. This system is designed to produce diagnostic images immediately with the option of completing image optimisation easily according to user preference. It offers a variety of options to enhance productivity and satisfy specialised imaging needs. These options include: long-length imaging, CD/ DVD output, modality work list, Image Suite mini-PACS software and a dental panoramic module. Accessories are also available which could eliminate the need for expensive third party quality certification testing. The system has been designed to allow for seamless transitions from one system to another in a multi-CR facility and/or across multiple facilities. This system supports seven different cassette sizes at standard resolution and four cassette sizes in high resolution.
