Clear Visualization
The Philips Pulsera features a full range of radiation management protocols that allow low X-ray doses even during lengthy procedures, while still providing excellent image quality. The Pulsera comes equipped with unique technology to help maintain clear visualization of dense anatomy and complex vasculature:
- High Power Pulsed Exposure visualizes fast-moving anatomy with outstanding image quality for a virtually unlimited amount of time.
- Unique BodySmart software promotes first-time right imaging and dose efficiency. It delivers consistently superb image contrast by adapting the measuring field to the area of interest.
- Automatic contrast and brightness offer single-touch adjustment of contrast/brightness to the ROI to enhance details in real-time.
- High-definition fluoroscopy provides full contrast for the steepest projections, like lateral hip exams.
- Digital Exposure (Sharp Shot) mode allows a single high-quality image to be taken for archiving and printing.
- Ortho Plus applies extra X-ray power to visualize challenging regions of interest with normal or obese patients.
