Summary
ClarityIQ is a novel X-ray imaging technology, that combines advanced real-time image noise reduction algorithms, with state-of-the-art hardware to reduce patient entrance dose significantly. This is realized by anatomy-specific optimization of the full acquisition chain (grid switch, beam filtering, pulse width, spot size, detector and image processing engine) for every clinical task individually. Furthermore, smaller focal spot sizes, shorter pulses and the introduction of automatic real-time motion compensation in subtraction imaging are used, which are known to positively influence image quality . The final effect on the clinical image quality in peripheral angiography is investigated in this study.
