Radiation dose guidelines and quality initiatives are constantly evolving. It's mandatory to keep exposure to ionizing radiation "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA principle) to avoid, for instance, unnecessary exposure or overexposure to ionizing radiation. However, dose management can be inefficient, lack consistency, or be incomplete and this impacts clinicians' ability to identify the right information (such as exams at risk, outliers and trends) to make the right decisions. How it works DoseWatch automatically detects outliers in dosing data and provides insight into their root causes, while easily documenting these anomalies for review. Using the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and your medical devices, DoseWatch captures, tracks, and reports radiation and contrast dose across modalities and manufacturers. Drive better-informed, patient-centered care Delivering high quality patient care is a top priority. Incorporating DoseWatch into your imaging practices ensures it stays that way––with state-of-the-art technology that helps clinicians use appropriate radiation levels and deliver better-informed, patient-centered, and effective care. 4D Skin Dose Map DoseWatch provides an interactive tool to support the post-procedure review conducted by the interventional imaging physician or medical physicist as they perform their comprehensive assessment of skin injury risk Organ dose dosimetry technology from Duke University This module estimates organ dosages based on licensed dosimetry technology developed by Duke University. Using the XCAT phantom library of patient models, it gives an absorbed dose estimation based on Duke University’s algorithm
