Toshiba America Medical Systems has released two new dose management tools for its RadRex-i digital radiography (DR) system.
Support for DICOM Radiation Dose Structured Reporting enables automatic recording of radiation dose information for every x-ray exam, according to Toshiba. The dose report is also compliant with the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Radiation Exposure Monitoring (REM) profile.
In addition, Toshiba has incorporated reject analysis software, which documents accepted and rejected exposures. This allows radiology departments to view technologists' techniques and performance, reasons for rejecting an image, and the number of repeat images, according to the vendor. This information could be used by radiology departments to identify rejection rates and improve techniques, Toshiba said.
