Carestream’s Dual-Energy X-ray technology, utilizing two filter materials, delivers outstanding image quality and comprehensive diagnostic information with an optimal radiation dose equivalent to that of a single chest PA X-ray. Dual-Energy automatically switches between high- and low-energy exposures to produce a soft-tissue-only image with the bone structures removed, as well as a corresponding bone-only image. This differential filter application can be used for chest X-rays on Carestream’s DRX-Evolution Plus System, and is another example of the company’s ability to integrate algorithmic results to provide better medical image quality and improve diagnostic capabilities, while keeping patient safety in mind.
