The proven system for fluoroscopy AXIOM® Luminos TF has features that ease workflow and facilitate system handling. Digital radiographic exposures can be acquired directly in the fluoroscopic suite with the integrated mobile Flat Detector (mFD). This combination offers versatility, efficiency, and time savings. These benefits in addition to its open design and low-dose levels make the system ideal for pediatric examinations. With the mFD, high-quality images are available in seconds and time-consuming examination steps such as cassette handling are eliminated.

At North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley, CO, USA, John P. Harris, MD, and his team appreciate the excellent image quality while benefiting from an eased workflow. He reports, “Overhead radiographs acquired with the mobile Flat Detector are not only of outstanding image quality, but also significantly enhance the procedure workflow. Our technologists were able to remain with the patient during the entire examination, greatly improving patient care.” And in the field of pediatrics, patient care and patient comfort is of utter importance. Thanks to the AXIOM Luminos TF’s design, which creates for a large distance between the tabletop and digital imaging tower and a wide tabletop, patient positioning can be done more conveniently.

For North Colorado Medical Center, these features all mean a higher quality of patient care. Of utmost importance, however, is the ability to perform pediatric examinations with radiation exposure levels that are as low as reasonably achievable while maintaining diagnostic image quality. Equipped with the comprehensive radiation reduction program CARE, AXIOM Luminos TF with mFD can reduce the skin entrance dose by a factor of eleven in pediatric fluoroscopy.*
