ROI Radiation Reduction

ROI technology is proven to substantially reduce patient radiation dose outside of the ROI while maintaining – or improving – image quality within the ROI. Omega AI image-guided ROI systems bring this proven science to reality by dynamically collimating to the ROI – leveraging AI, an ultra-fast collimator, and the world’s most advanced image processing.

Clinical Application of ROI Techniques to Radiologic Imaging (rsna.org)

Region of interest (ROI) imaging is used to substantially reduce patient dose outside of a ROI while maintaining or improving image quality within the ROI.

Significant radiation reduction in interventional fluoroscopy using a novel eye controlled movable region of interest (AAPM)

This paper reports the first results obtained using a novel technology called eye controlled region of interest (ECR) that substantially reduces both staff and patient irradiation during an interventional fluoroscopy procedure without interfering with workflow.

Assessment of Organ and Effective Dose When Using Region-of-Interest Attenuators in Cone-Beam CT and Interventional Fluoroscopy (Spiedigitallibrary.org)

In some medical-imaging procedures such as fluoroscopy, only the center of the field of view (FOV) may be needed to be visualized with optimal image quality – to reduce the dose to the patient while maintaining visualization of the entire FOV, an aperture for the region of interest (ROI) is used with a substantial reduction of dose when using an ROI during procedures.

Filtering for Noise Reduction when using Region of Interest (ROI) Fluoroscopy for Patient Dose Reduction (NCBI)

Noise-reduction techniques in combination with ROI fluoroscopy have the potential for substantial patient-dose savings in cardiac interventions.

Filtering and Dose Reduction for Dynamic Image Guidance during Neurovascular Interventions (NCBI)

A combination of ROI fluoroscopy, where exposure is substantially reduced in the peripheral region outside the ROI, and image processing enables patient dose savings along with improved image quality.

Methods and Technologies to Reduce Radiation

Radiation Safety and Protection (NCBI)

Radiation protection aims to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure with a goal to minimize the harmful effects of ionizing radiation with three basic principles – justification, optimization, and dose limitation.
