SLOT Advance acquires a series of accurate images of a few centimetres central slit as the imaging chain moves successively along the patient. Providing super high accuracy measurements SLOT Advance collimates the X-ray beam, exposing just a narrow central slit field without the distortion caused by oblique rays. These central slit images are captured using the best-in-class SONIALVISION R/F table’s super-high resolution Flat Panel Detector (FPD) by moving it in parallel with the X-ray tube. These successive images are reconstructed automatically to create one long image in SONIALVISION G4’s digital imaging unit (DR-300). This simple workflow enables highly accurate measurements without distortion. Significant reduction of examination time: Before starting the exposure, the start and end positions of the examination field are simply set. That’s all it takes to obtain proper long-view images using Slot Radiography. All post-processing required to connect, adjust, and display the images on the monitor is done automatically immediately after exposure. SLOT Advance eliminates the time-consuming steps of setting up the cassette and making adjustments, not to mention moving the patient between standing and horizontal positions, all of which are required by conventional CR long-length imaging.
