Validation of a New Post Image Processing Engine (S-Vue™) for the Reduction of Ionizing Radiation Dose on X-ray Examination in Pediatric Patients

The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston40 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to compare X-ray images obtained using the GM85 digital radiography machine at the standard full dose to X-ray images obtained using the GM85 digital radiography machine along with the Samsung S-Vue system, which is a image post-processing engine that allows images to be obtained using a lower dose. The study also aims to determine the lowest dose of radiation that can be used to get a good, readable x-ray of the chest in pediatric patients using Samsung S-Vue system.
