    Radiation Dose Per Scan Comparison

    Norland radiation dose to patients is the lowest in the industry. Constantly monitoring the
    high energy count rate, Norland equipment automatically and dynamically varies x-ray flux
    to one of eight levels to ensure an optimal count rate is used to carry out the scan of a
    subject.

    Norland Minimal Radiation Dosage


    Norland utilizes exclusive dynamic filtration which
    automatically adjusts the amount of x-ray based on
    subject thickness. A benefit of dynamic
    filtration is that it delivers the lowest level of
    radiation exposure to the operator and subject in
    the market. The dynamic filtering process
    automatically adjusts radiation output based on
    regional thickness. Limbs are less thick than
    trunks and will require less radiation. Trunks are
    typically thicker resulting in higher radiation
    dosage. Other scanners employ fixed radiation
    levels regardless of thickness producing detector
    saturation (overestimation) or starvation (underestimation). The Norland
    dynamic filters minimize radiation exposure while producing studies free of
    detector saturation or starvation.
