Low Radiation Dose

Unlike widely used CCD or FPD, the LST (Line Scan Type) X-ray diagnostic system creates a fan beam X-ray to scan the subject. In case of the diagnostic system including the FPD, the X-ray is radiated in the form of cones, and the X-ray that has passed through the subject is set onto the detector array installed FPD. Thus, the X-ray is scattered as it passes through the subject, resulting in the lowered quality of the image. On the other hand, in the line scan type X-ray diagnostic system offered by JSB Medics, the X-ray source created in the X-ray tube passes through the collimator and radiates in the form of fan beam, passing through the subject, incident on the line scan type detector. Here, the vertically scattered X-ray dose not reach the detector, thus the image signal is improved when compared to the FPD type detector. Also, the line scan type detector has very low radiation scattering effect, making high quality projection images with just a short time of X-ray exposure and low radiation strength which will diminish the radiation exposure to the subject. Actually, the exposure to radiation in other diagnostic system is between 1/20 to 1/5 sec. but the detection technology of JSB allows just 1/250 sec. of exposure. This is a significant reduction in radiation exposure, in that during chest X-rays, the radiation exposure using the JSB technology was less than 1/3 of normal chest X-rays. When the exposure is this low, radiation of diagnosis is possible for children or pregnant women under safe environments, and the operators in charge of handling the diagnostic equipment for long periods of time will also benefit.
