Both systems have a 2D camera built into the tube head, and technologists can use the Smart Virtual Ortho feature to set the field of view and adjust exposure parameters on the touch screen using a live camera image of the patient and AI sensors, setting up long-leg and full-spine examinations more easily.
“This saves 20% on setup time,” said Martin Pesce, X-ray product manager at Siemens Healthineers North America. “For every five patients I can do one more.”
Technologists can also use the 2D camera separately for patient movement verification.
The software includes myExam Companion, which helps guide technologists through procedures based on patient information.
