CONFERENCES, IN THE NEWS, INNOVATION
We are pleased to report that Radiaction was featured in Diagnostic and Interventional Cardiology (DAIC) online magazine in their six 6 Takeaways in Cardiac and Vascular Imaging at RSNA 2021. Below is the excerpt on Radiaction:
“New Cath Lab Radiation Protection Systems
The Radiaction Shield System to prevent scatter radiation in the cath lab fits an expanding shield to the detector and X-ray source on the C-arm. The light weight shield is made of leaves of tungsten mixed into a polymer. It can be deployed using a table-side controller. It extends down from all four sides of the detector and moves down to the patient until sensors detect their proximity (or that of a hand or piece of equipment) and stop automatically. When pulled back, the shield folds compactly into itself and out of the way to allow normal access space between the patient and the C-arm.
The vendor said it can lower scatter radiation dose in the cath lab by 97%, and is gathering more study data to show safety and the reduction in staff exposure during procedures.
The company has CE mark and is submitting for FDA in 2022. Two sites in Israel are using the system clinically.
