Conventional Radiology

Benefits

Our system’s Flat Panel Detection technology is a new method of taking X-ray images, incorporating them into the digital environment, offering many benefits for both the patient and the doctor:

• It reduces the dose of radiation received by patients due to less exposure time, and almost eliminates the need for repeat X-rays.

 

• Better image quality: it automatically improves contrast and imaging detail. It also reduces image noise, improving bone detail and soft tissue contra

 

• Medically efficient:
  • It improves the use of image content by allowing additional processing, measurements can be made directly on the image, indicators or observations on a particular detail can be added.
  • X-ray images are included and stored in the patient’s notes so that images can be compared afterwards, and progress can be monitored.
  • We can transfer images to your GP, without the need for X-ray films.

 

• Improved patient safety, with decreased investigation time and lower dose of radiation, with only the required dose applied.

 

• Flat Panel Detector (FPD) technology covers practically all clinical applications, such as:
  • Osteoarticular radiology
  • Chest radiology
  • Digestive radiology
  • Genitourinary radiology

   

  • More comfortable for the patient:
    • Low table height, easier access for the patient.
    • Patient coverage of up to 190 cm.

What preparation is required?

 
Jewellery must be removed.

It is important to stay still whilst the X-ray is being taken as movement can cause blurred images. For this reason, you will be required to hold your breath for a couple of seconds during some X-rays.
