About the Education Day
The focus of this live webinar is on:
1- Single-Exposure Dual-Energy Radiography
• Understand what Dual-Energy Subtraction (DES) X-ray is, the limitations of older Dual-Exposure DES techniques, and how a Single Exposure Dual-Energy detector can overcome these limitations.
• Understand the clinical benefits of Single Exposure Dual-Energy for early detection of small nodules and identification of pneumonia, pneumothorax and coronary calcifications.
• Learn more about current hospital implementations of Single Exposure Dual-Energy X-ray.
• Understand the operational and economic benefits that come from using the Single Exposure Dual-Energy subtraction technique.
2- When The Radiologist Is Not Available: Improving Confidence in Non-Radiological Environments using Dual-Energy Subtraction
• Understand what Dual-Energy Subtraction (DES) X-ray is, the limitations of older Dual-Exposure DES techniques, and how a Single Exposure Dual-Energy detector can overcome these limitations.
• Understand the clinical benefits of Single Exposure Dual-Energy for early detection of small nodules and identification of pneumonia, pneumothorax and coronary calcifications.
• Learn more about current implementations of Single Exposure Dual-Energy X-ray.
• Understand how Single-Exposure Dual-Energy subtraction increases confidence in non-radiological environments, without adding extra reading time.
