mobile C-arms, says Ms. Criscitelli.
It's also important to consider saving time and dose. Real-time dose
readouts allow for immediate information about the radiation dose
received, says Ms. Criscitelli. "A barrier for users of C-arms is that the
film badge provides information on a monthly basis of how much
dose is received," she says. "But this means that reports are a month
behind and employees would not know that they are in an unsafe
zone of radiation exposure. This technology will help to modify their
actions immediately. The goal is minimal amounts of contrast media
and shorter fluoroscopy times." OSM
