Real-Time Dose Modulation with CARE Dose4D
The CARE Dose4D feature utilizes an advanced computing technique that provides real-time dose modulation of the X-ray tube current according to the precise shape of the patient's body during both spiral and sequential scanning. It reduces the patient dose for low-attenuation views, while the dose is kept at a nominally higher mA for high attenuation angles.
CARE Dose4D provides these economical and clinical benefits:
CARE Dose4D is an innovative dose reduction technique that measures the patient attenuation in order to map the output of the CT acquisition. Learn more »
- Up to 66% dose reduction while maintaining the same image quality as compared to clinical protocols not employing CARE Dose4D.
- Enhancement of the image quality and reduction of artifacts for scanning of asymmetric body regions, such as the shoulders, or scans of the patient with arms alongside the body.
- Lower power consumption and reduced heat load.
- Longer spiral ranges and more flexibility for multiphase examinations, especially for obese patients.
- Low-dose examinations for pediatric patients.
