The Importance of Low Dose:
In recent media, it is often stressed what the importance of low dose is. With a Smit Röntgen Grid, 20%-40% less dose can be achieved!
“Radiation dose is a concern for young patients who potentially face increased risk of organ exposure to radiation over their lifetime.” (Aunt Minnie, 2010)
“With the increase in awareness about radiation exposure and its effects in the long run the market is shifting towards a trend where vendors are looking at Radiation dose reduction technologies.” (Frost&Sullivan, 2010)
“…the risks, benefits, and implications of ionizing radiation in medical imaging are now being considered more carefully than ever before.” (Vital Signs, 2010)
The Key Notes of a Smit Röntgen Grid
• On average 20% - 40% less absorption of radiation because of the fiber interspacer, when compared to aluminum interspacer of competitors..
• ..meaning significant less dose for the patient
• ..meaning less constraint on the X-Ray tube and therefore cost saving by longer tube lifetime
• Less weight than aluminum interspaced grids, up to 1/3
• The 'must have' grid for digital with improved SNR/DQE
• Price has an essential role, but is relatively low related to total systems price, and the above advantages!
• Every grid is X-Rayed and approved before leaving the factory
• Engineering team of 6 engineers with much grids and X-Ray systems experience, so high level of advise on X-Ray applications
• Back-up of the organisation of the global player Philips Healthcare
• The proven record of more than 75 years experience and supplying to all major system manufacturers worldwide: global market leader!
