Protecting your patients and your people Radiation dose is a complex issue, especially when viewed in the context of healthcare. Used appropriately radiation brings many universally accepted medical benefits, including the identification and treatment of damaged bones, cancers, and heart abnormalities. However, it also has the power to harm human DNA and, if used negligently, to cause cancer. Read everything about Dose management in Allura systems in our whitepaper.
At Philips, we have established ourselves as a leader in the area of dose management; Philips DoseWise is a set of techniques, programs, and practices that better protect your patients and your people from the negative effects of radiation in X-ray environments.
DoseWise Allura
Our dose reduction solutions specific to Philips Allura systems are known collectively as DoseWise Allura; a unique combination of techniques, programs, and practices, built into our Allura FD interventional X-ray systems that provide clinically relevant image quality during each interventional application, while providing X-ray dose management.
DoseWise Allura offers significant dose-savings using a unique combination of components. At Philips, we divide factors that influence dose and image quality in three main categories:
DoseWise Allura’s exceptional image quality and dose management capabilities are made possible by a variety of proprietary technologies developed by Philips. These ‘intrinsic’ features are those components within the system that form the foundation of exceptional imaging, such as the generator, MRC X-ray tube, dynamic flat detector, and real-time image processing.
DoseWise Allura offers a variety of unique features which allow you to tailor your system by image quality and dose to perfectly meet your specific requirements. These include our clinically optimized X-ray protocols, low-dose protocols, fluoro choices, fluoro store and collimation on Last Image Hold.
