Image-guided therapy
User Quality Control Mode (UQCM)
More control over radiation-related assessment
Independently validate radiation parameters in a consistent way and stay in compliance with local regulations and standards such as NEMA XR 27-2012. UQCM reduces the complexity of validating quality, retrieving data and images, and reporting results allowing healthcare facilities to make efficient use of staff and lab and avoid the need for external assistance. UQCM also features convenient online training, a secure and separate testing environment, easy access and a clear overview of test status.
3-factor technique (user control mode)
The following techniques are possible: Xper technique: large/small focus, Tube exposure: voltage (kV), Tube exposure: current (mA), X-ray pulse time (ms)
Image quality and dose performance-related tests
The following tests are available: Monitor performance, Detector dose input test, kV and mA stabilization test, Entrance dose rate limitation test, Verification of dose area product (DAP), air kerma, and KV display indication accuracy, Tube-related parameters: half value layer, X-ray beam output, focal spot size, System related parameters e.g., X-ray beam alignment, field as test, limiting resolution
Air kerma rate verification of clinical protocols
This includes verification of fluoroscopy dose-related settings, fluoroscopy flavor settings, Source image distance (SID) variation, Field of view variation (FOV), Documenting protocol settings for reporting
