Sharp, motionless vessels at low dose with ClarityIQ
ClarityIQ provides high quality imaging for a comprehensive range of clinical procedures, achieving excellent visibility at low X-ray dose levels. In interventional neuro procedures, ClarityIQ technology reduces patient dose by 65% for the total procedure without affecting the procedural performance, compared to an Allura Xper system.1
1 In routine neuro endovascular procedures*, the AlluraClarity system with ClarityIQ technology may reduce patient dose (as dose-area product) by as much as 62% (in routine diagnostic neuro endovascular procedures) and as much as 65% (in routine interventional neuro endovascular procedures)** for the total procedure without affecting the procedural performance (fluoroscopy time and number of DSA images) as compared to equivalent procedures on an Allura Xper system, as demonstrated in one single-center study.*** *Routine neuro interventions comprise of DSA and fluoroscopy usage.** (95% CI 56%, 68% for routine diagnostic neuro endovascular procedures, 95% CI 58%, 71% for routine interventional neuro endovascular procedures). The results of the application of dose reduction techniques will vary depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. The interventional radiologist assisted by a physicist as necessary has to determine the appropriate settings for each specific clinical task. *** Results based on total dose area product from a single center retrospective historically controlled cohort study (Karolinska Hospital - Solna, Sweden) on 614 patients (302 for Allura Xper and 312 for AlluraClarity) undergoing neuro endovascular procedures.
