·Tracking - The Tracking software upgrade adds tracking capabilities, allowing clinicians to create a report that can be downloaded from the system for facility quality assurance programs. The Tracking software will log events related to the Dose Alert and Dose Notification features.
·Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) - The DICOM IHE SR software feature allows for the system to be configured to transmit dose related information to a PACS or workstation as an electronic file compatible with DICOM's Integrated Healthcare Environment (IHE) Structured Reporting (SR) technical framework. Previously, the system's preceding dose report sent this information as a fixed DICOM image. The DICOM IHE SR feature allows this data to be sent in such a way that the data can be read by other systems with the proper DICOM IHE SR software, which facilitates monitoring dose for CT examinations. Additionally, the DICOM IHE SR feature will allow the transmission of dose information to dose registries as they become available.

QDS and Boost3D
In addition, Toshiba is showcasing QDS and Boost3D technologies, which improve image noise characteristics without increasing dose to the patient. These algorithms can be used to improve image quality with decreased radiation dose. Applying QDS and Boost3D can achieve dose savings while preserving image quality.
"Toshiba is committed to manufacturing diagnostic imaging devices that make clinical exams as fast, accurate and safe as possible for all patients," said Joseph Cooper, director, CT Business Unit, Toshiba. "The NEMA XR 25 Dose Check Software exemplifies Toshiba's dedication to innovate technologies that provide safer exams to patients."
