GE Healthcare of Chalfont St. Giles, U.K., has launched a new service to monitor patient radiation dose remotely for users of its Innova interventional angiography systems.
Called Innova Dose Reports, the service uses GE's InSite broadband connection to remotely collect information on procedure utilization, views, dose usage per procedure, and dose utilization trends during a given month. Information collected via InSite is then combined into a report and delivered to Innova users.
Innova Dose Reports also provides users with notifications when total dose exceeds their prescribed threshold. GE believes the service is especially important as interventional radiology procedures grow in complexity and length, making attention to radiation dose increasingly important.
