ROCHESTER, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Healthcare providers worldwide are working diligently to minimize imaging exposures—particularly for pediatric patients. Intermountain Primary Children's Medical Center (Salt Lake City, Utah) has risen to that challenge by reducing dose for its pediatric patients by up to 50 percent—while simultaneously enhancing image quality.
Carestream’s Pediatric Image Optimization and Enhancement Software is deployed on a CARESTREAM DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System that captures high-resolution digital images of pediatric patients in the NICU, ER and throughout the hospital. The software contains techniques for each of seven pediatric categories. The hospital equipped its DRX-Revolution with a CARESTREAM DRX1-C cesium iodide detector that is designed for higher resolution, dose-sensitive applications. Images are available in about five seconds, which helps physicians deliver accurate, responsive care.
“Our physicians and radiologists are extremely pleased with the improvement in visualization of soft tissues and small structures for all children, but the difference is especially pronounced in premature babies and infants,” said Casey Dye, RT, the hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging Coordinator.
Carestream’s Pediatric Capture Image Optimization & Enhancement Software offers the ability to select the pediatric patient body size from a range of seven categories. This newly categorized selection allows the system to choose default acquisition parameters and image-processing configurations appropriate for the different types of patients as well as the different detector types Carestream offers.
