New Cloud-based X-Ray Software Designed to Lower Patient Dose

New cloud-based, X-ray software has been developed that enables medical staff to manage and lower patients’ radiation dose.

Unfors RaySafe (Billdal, Sweden) announced its extended product range for the X-ray room at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) from November 25-30, 2012, in Chicago (IL, USA). In addition to the wide range of products for quality assurance of diagnostic X-ray and real-time personal dose monitoring solutions, the company now offers a new software system, RaySafe S1 dose management, to cover additionally the increased demand on patient dose management.

After introducing the real-time dose monitoring system RaySafe i2 early in 2012, Unfors RaySafe has now launched the RaySafe S1, a cloud-based software that enables medical staff to manage and lower patient dose. “When it comes to the control of radiation there are three important factors to be considered: quality assurance for X-ray equipment, minimization of radiation exposure of medical staff and dose management in order to protect patients. We are now the only company able to provide clinics and hospitals with effective solutions in all of these key areas,” stated CEO Magnus Kristoferson. Unfors RaySafe’s strategy centers on increasing awareness of unnecessary radiation exposure among the different target groups and enables working according to the radiation safety principles of ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable).

The new RaySafe S1 is a cloud-based software that helps to reduce patients’ radiation exposure to a minimum while providing the quality of radiologic images. By providing radiology centers and hospitals with the capability to capture patient dose during radiology procedures, the RaySafe S1 enables clinicians to better control and decrease the number of unnecessary exams, lower patient dose, improve process quality and monitor patient safety. As a result, radiation exposure for patients is effectively reduced and optimized while medical personnel works more efficiently, increasing the overall productivity, resulting in considerable cost-savings.

Unfors RaySafe is a leading supplier of radiation measurement solutions in the medical field offering comprehensive solutions for the X-ray room—from quality assurance of X-ray equipment, to real-time dose monitoring for medical staff and dose management solutions for the benefit of the patient.
