One dose does not fit all
Just as patients come in all ages, shapes and sizes, their image and dosage requirements vary significantly. Wireless Flat Panel Detectors are configured to customize the ultimate goal of maximum radiation dose reduction.
The anatomy and body parts of a child, for example, are small and therefore children are more sensitive to radiation. It is important to note that what is done now can have a lasting effect on a child. Ideally, the goal is low dose exams and high-quality, ultra-sharp images that will allow the radiologist to accurately identify the problem for the doctor.
The desire to image gently for a child by x-raying only the area needed, is more effectively accomplished when using wireless medical imaging. We are all exposed to small amounts of natural radiation in our daily lives, such as through sun, air, water, buildings, and airplane travel. Therefore, we want to limit the number of repeat images for young children whenever possible.
When x-raying a larger sized person or an area of the anatomy where a wider field of view is needed, such as a chest x-ray, a wireless custom configured flat panel x-ray detector will provide the physician with the full view details he needs.
Wireless revolution
With cables and wires eliminated, the freedom to position the Digital Radiology Detector for each individual improves exam efficiency and overall patient experience. Additionally, the risk of infection for all patients is reduced.
The use and availability of Wireless Digital Flat Panel Detectors has increased and promises to continue to be the wave of the future. At the end of the day the FPXD detector makes all things imaging easier.
