Swedish image enhancement developer ContextVision has made the first installation of SharpView CT, an add-on module for existing CT scanners that reduces radiation dose by up to 70%, according to the company.

SharpView CT uses software algorithms to improve or maintain image quality, while delivering radiation dosages 30% to 70% lower than regular procedures, the Stockholm-based company said. The first systems are currently installed in Norway and Sweden.
