Features
Improved diagnostic image quality
UNIQUE 2 offers you extended flexibility to adjust image contrast. In pediatric hand images, UNIQUE 2 enhances contrast by up to 54.7% [1]. It also features a novel noise reduction algorithm. In abdominal areas, phantom measurements showed a noise reduction of up to 17.3% [2]. Specific anatomical structures can be selectively enhanced to increase detail visualization and support diagnostic confidence.
Fast, easy image adjustments
With a next generation interface and vastly improved image processing functions, image processing parameters can be individually tailored to the personal demands of each radiologist. All adjustments become instantly visible, in excellent quality, on the 2MP monitor. Once created, any custom-made parameter set is automatically applied in daily routine, speeding the exam.
Personalized control
UNIQUE 2 automatically indicates, with a green mark, those areas requiring contrast adjustment. However, you can manipulate this to suit your patient’s need. Using the ‘ranger’ tool, just point to a certain area or structure and place your own mark(s), thereby including it in the medical image processing.
Optimized representation of clinical information
UNIQUE 2 optimizes information from the clinical image, independent of the patient’s body size or exam type. For example, it provides a more balanced image impression across patients by improving the consistency of the background area. For pediatric knee images, this improvement is up to 100%.[3] Tailored processing presets are automatically available for each patient and examination type.
Versatile bone suppression
UNIQUE 2 works in conjunction with Philips Bone Suppression software [4] as an option to help remove bone structures from chest images for an unobstructed view of soft tissue. This clear view can help ensure you have a more accurate, confident image interpretation. It improves actionable lung nodule detection by up to 16.8% [5].
Integration across systems
UNIQUE 2 is seamlessly integrated into the Eleva platform. The similar image processing algorithms at work in our premium systems can be found in most DXR systems. Quality X-ray images can be viewed and evaluated from any suitable monitor, offering extended flexibility.
Automatic image stitching
UNIQUE 2’s image processing is applied not only to the two or three single images that are acquired, but also to the entire composite image. As a result, the composite image is beautifully harmonized. There are no stitching artifacts visible and from top to bottom you’ll see nothing but a well-balanced image.
UNIQUE 2 integrated with our premium Radiography 7300 C digital radiography system
Fast throughput and diagnostic confidence are not mutually exclusive. The versatile Philips Radiography 7300 C digital radiography system allows you to achieve both. You can comfortably see more patients per day [6], reduce time-consuming retakes, and focus more closely on your patients. Smart Workflow, powerful AI-enabled productivity features, and automated examination technologies help assure rapid availability of high-quality digital images for more confident diagnoses.
