When patients enter
a trauma center or emergency room with multiple injuries, Statscan
can provide a full body image for initial diagnosis in thirteen
seconds, and then zoom in on specific smaller areas for a more detailed
evaluation.
Unlike conventional
analog X-ray devices, and even newer CR and flat panel detector
DR devices, Statscan can capture clear images without requiring
injured patients to be repeatedly moved and manipulated to achieve
the desired results. The speed and flexibility of Statscan reduces
the need to move a patient out of the resuscitation area during
the critical golden hour for further assessment using time-consuming
tools that offer far less patient accessibility such as CT scanners.
Once the patient is
properly positioned in Statscan Critical Imaging System and the
required view is selected, a radiograph is acquired via the Operator
Console. This is done by selecting the required radiograph procedure
from a series of pictograms and then activating the scan handle.
The system automatically
computes and sets all the necessary X-ray parameters such as resolution,
kV's and mA's. Statscan then acquires a radiograph by means of a
horizontal movement of the C-arm. The image of the radiograph appears
on the Operator Console screen within seconds.
Once an image has
been acquired, it is immediately available for viewing at the Diagnostic
Viewing Station. Selections of previously recorded radiographs are
available to page through at a high speed. All radiographs can be
transmitted over the network utilizes industry standard protocols
such as DICOM 3 for Picture Archiving and Communication Systems
(PACS) and viewing purposes on user specific Radiological Information
Systems (RIS).
