Radiology software SmartXR™

for PACSfor DICOM filesfor x-ray imaging

Overview
SmartXR™ is a sensor‑and‑AI based software suite that assists radiographers during X‑ray acquisitions to improve positioning, reduce repeats and provide additional contextual images for radiologists. It is designed for use with direct radiography (DR) systems and acquisition workstations.

Key features and modules

• SmartRotate™: automatic image orientation correction so images are presented ready for viewing regardless of detector side.
• SmartAlign™: real‑time tube‑to‑panel alignment guidance to avoid grid cut‑off, shape and spatial distortion and to increase consistency between exams.
• SmartPatientView™: archives a positioning/collimation picture to PACS so radiologists can review patient positioning, soft‑tissue conditions and presence of external objects.
• SmartPositioning QA™: operator‑facing quality assurance tool to validate diagnostic positioning, standardize technique across teams and provide on‑demand guidance.
• SmartDose™: proposes an exposure adjustment based on patient thickness before acquisition (useful where AEC is absent), improving image quality for larger patients and reducing repeats.
• SmartPositioning™: live visualization of collimation and AEC areas with overlays to enable faster, more accurate positioning for challenging views (e.g., lateral, bariatric).
• LiveVision™: live camera view of the collimation area from the workstation to verify or remotely guide patient positioning before exposure.

Benefits

• Reduces the number of repeat exposures and bedside workload by simplifying acquisition steps and reducing orientation/positioning errors.
• Improves image consistency and diagnostic quality, facilitating follow‑up and comparison with prior exams.
• Supports dose optimization when AEC is limited by proposing thickness‑adapted exposure adjustments.
• Provides visual assistance to radiographers and contextual positioning images to radiologists for better interpretation.
