About the Education Day
The focus of this live webinar is on:
1- Single Exposure Dual-Energy Subtraction (DES) X-ray: physics
– Explain what is dual-energy subtraction (DES) X-ray,
– Describe the limitations of the old DES techniques
– Describe how a single-exposure detector can overcome these limitations.
2- Single Exposure Dual-Energy Subtraction (DES) X-ray: clinical applications and use
– Learn about current applications of dual-energy X-ray in chest imaging.
– Discuss the subtraction technique of bones from soft tissues and its importance in delineating lesions.
3- Single Exposure Dual-Energy Subtraction (DES) X-ray: clinical interpretation
– Identify the specifics of dual-energy images interpretation.
– Describe the clinical benefits in the detection of several conditions such as small nodules identification, pneumonia, pneumothorax and coronary calcifications.

Short Biographies
Karim S. Karim, PhD, PEng, MBA: SKarim has developed novel X-ray imaging devices and systems since 1998. He has supported two start-ups (Ignis Innovation and Ultrascan) and founded two companies (ActivPixel and KA Imaging) in the past two decades. He has raised more than $15M in research grant funding, trained over 40 PhD and MASc students, has co-authored 250+ publications and 50+ patents. Some of the X-ray circuit technology he developed is now used in ultrasonic fingerprint sensors in mobile phones and tablets.
Jay Potipcoe, BA, MRT(R): Jay is designated MRT with the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT), having worked at hospitals and private imaging facilities for the past years. Jay has a strong background in general radiography, gastric fluoroscopy, orthopaedic intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy, CT, and portable trauma radiography in ER settings. He is also experienced in infection control. Before joining KA Imaging as an Applications Specialist, he worked on the frontlines, providing X-ray exams and CT scans to patients suffering from COVID-19.
