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.
