CAREvision provides variable fluoro pulse rates that can be adapted according to the clinical need: from 30 pulses per second (p/s) in various steps, down to 0.5 p/s. The reduction from 30 p/s to 7.5 p/s results in a dose saving of 75%.

The low-dose syngo DynaCT protocol provides 3D information during the treatment of very radiosensitive patients such as children. 3D imaging results can be achieved at only 0.3 mSv* (neuro).

Low-dose acquisition provides excellent image quality with a dose reduction of up to 67% in comparison to normal acquisition protocols. One acquisition pedal of the foot switch can be configured as a low-dose acquisition pedal.

CAREguard provides an effective way to control skin dose. Three skin dose threshold values can be defined. If the accumulated skin dose exceeds a configured threshold, a warning sound is given and a pop-up displays on the system.

With CAREwatch, the dose area product and dose rate at the interventional reference point are displayed on the live display in the examination and control room.

CAREreport is a DICOM structured dose report; it contains all patient demographics, procedures, and dose information. Using commercially available programs or in-house software, this information can be filtered for further processing, such as dose analysis.
