The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance to Carestream Health's x-ray noise cancellation technology that aims to improve image quality.
The artificial intelligence (AI)-based Smart Noise Cancellation is available as an optional feature with Carestream's Eclipse-powered ImageView software. Tests showed that the technology reduced noise by two to four times in flat image areas while preserving high-frequency sharpness and improving contrast detail, according to Carestream.
Smart Noise Cancellation is available on the company's DRX-Evolution and DRX-Evolution Plus digital radiography systems.
