Bone Suppression image enhancement
Bone Suppression image enhancement technology
Features
Confident interpretation
By providing a soft tissue image in addition to a conventional chest image, Bone Suppression provides decision-making support without the need for additional X-ray dose or time. With Bone Suppression, actionable lung nodule detection is improved up to 16.8%. [1]
Efficient workflow
Bone Suppression does not require an additional procedure, add to examination time or require additional equipment. Depending on the protocol, for each adult erect chest PA/AP image a bone-suppressed image can be automatically generated and sent to PACS in addition to the conventional image. Both the conventional and the bone-suppressed image can be accessed and reviewed at the PACS viewing station at any time.
Bone Suppression image enhancement technology is available on
“Bone suppression technology helps us make the correct diagnosis more quickly and confidently than ever before.”
