Designed to reduce patient exposure to radiation and aid in proper sensor positioning, DEXshield from DEXIS works with the company’s DEXIS Platinum Sensor.
The patented design of the positioner includes a tungsten core that blocks unnecessary x-rays while allowing optimal radiation to reach the sensor, according to a press release. In a laboratory setting the DEXshield reduced the absorbed dose by at least 30%.
Created to reduce radiation in an easier way than rectangular collimation, the positioner works with the standard x-ray workflow and makes it easy to position the sensor for the desired image, reducing retakes.
