SMARTDOSE
Best Image Quality.
Minimized Dose
Save dose with the enhanced CMOS imaging chain – now available in our latest C-arms.
Ziehm Imaging's unique SmartDose concept1
The comprehensive concept consists of a broad, clinically proven application portfolio to address the daily challenges of low dose and high image quality. With significant dose savings, Ziehm Imaging sets the benchmark in user-friendly adjustment of dose exposure.
Laser positioning device
integrated in flat-panel and generator housing for accurate and dose-free positioning of C-arm
Reduction of pulse frequency
manually or fully automatically to lower the accumulated dose
Object detected dose control (ODDC)2
to automatically analyze the area of interest and minimize dose while optimizing image quality
Anatomical programs
With automatic optimization of dose
and image quality for best results
High-speed ADR
Intelligent, fast regulation of pulse
rate to lower the dose level
ZAIP ALGORITHM & FILTERS

1 In clinical practice, the use of SmartDose may reduce patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task.
