Description

Our exclusive swimmers / lateral hip filter is a compensation filter that allows the entire cervical spine (C1-C7) and upper thoracic vertebra (T1) to be recorded on a single lateral film, significantly reducing radiation exposure and costs.

  • Reduces overexposure to the cervical spine to produce a balanced density from C-1 to T-1. 
  • Reduces excessive radiation by filtering before it reaches the patient. 
  • Application for lateral cervical spines with CR @ 72″ increases information on the lower cervical and upper thoracic, often reducing the need for a swimmer view.

 

BENEFITS
