SilverBeam in combination with AiCE Deep Learning Reconstruction provides excellent image quality at dose levels more comparable to a chest x-ray.
In this patient the DLP was only 24 mGy.cm with an effective dose of 0.3 mSv.

Color iodine maps quickly and definitively show areas of hypoperfusion to enhance your diagnosis.
Hyperperfused areas are commonly associated with pulmonary pathology as demonstrated in this case of a pulmonary embolism.

Color iodine maps can be provided with every multiphase abdomen protocol to further enhance your diagnostic confidence.
Iodine mapping can help to visualize and differentiate hypervascular lesions such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as seen in this case.
Here a hyper-vascularized arterial lesion can be easily visualized in both the gray scale image and color iodine maps. The lesion also demonstrates a “washout” pattern in the venous and delayed phase consistent with imaging findings associated with HCC.

Iodine mapping can help to visualize and differentiate hypervascular lesions that may exhibit similar enhancements in the arterial phase.
Here a hyper-vascularized arterial lesion can be easily visualized in both the gray scale image and color iodine maps.
The iodine maps unequivocally show the lesion still retains some contrast material in the venous and delayed, but the enhancement is less intense compared to the arterial phase.
