The CARE+CLEAR portfolio of dose-saving and image quality tools, available standard with every Artis angiography system from Siemens Healthineers, enables health care facilities to decide the necessary image quality and then determine the lowest possible radiation dose to the patient and clinical staff. For example, the CAREposition tool reduces dose by omitting fluoroscopy during patient repositioning. CAREvision permits variable fluoroscopic pulse rates ranging from 30 p/s to just 0.5 p/s, which can reduce patient and staff radiation exposure considerably. And CAREfilter enables adjustment of the filter size to achieve as much as a 50 percent reduction in entrance dose. In addition to minimizing patient and operator dose, CARE+CLEAR tools provide dose monitoring during the angiography procedure in addition to facilitating simple, structured dose reporting and documentation.
