CLARITY™ CT SOLUTION: Ultra Low Dose CT
ClarityTM directly addresses escalating medical community concerns regarding increased radiation exposure – specifically relevant for the examination of pediatric and women’s health patients – as well as safety concerns for clinical staff. Developed and patented by Sapheneia, a Swedish-based global Imaging Services Company specializing in diagnostic and analytical image processing solutions, ClarityTM improves the visibility of anatomic structures in CT images obtained at ultra-low radiation exposure levels. It adheres to the ALARA principle – As Low radiation dose As Reasonably Achievable – without compromising clinical diagnostic value.
ClarityTM’s proprietary image processing algorithms enable radiologists to significantly lower radiation dose exposures during image acquisition - by as much as 80%! Image-filtering techniques are configured based on medical modality and medical observer. Image processing algorithms address tissue, noise, scale, and structure adaptation while keeping HU levels for homogeneous regions. Essentially, ClarityTM automatically adapts to the tissue, decreasing noise while simultaneously increasing contrast.
The Result:
Clarity™ reduces radiation dose by 20-80%, depending on anatomy, while simultaneously delivering a better quality CT image.
ClarityTM delivers a Better CT Image the first time for greater diagnostic confidence.
ClarityTM supports all CT scanner models, scalable from entry-level to enterprise solution - with Seamless Integration into existing workflow.
ClarityTM serves several DICOM sources (scanners, PACS, work stations) simultaneously. It is DICOM 3.0 compliant with a standard Microsoft platform.
ClarityTM technology incorporates a worldwide network of research, radiology, and cardiology expert knowledge together with image-processing scientists.
ClarityTM extends the applicability and useful lifetime of both current and older-generation imaging instrumentation.
