With medical imaging usage increasing over the last 25 years, reducing the patient's exposure to X-ray doses has been a top priority of the medical imaging community for several years. The technology of JSB allows its dosage to be 6 to 9 times less than CR system and more than 100 times below that of a 3D CT scan because JSB detector's automatic gain, control, paired with its ability to reject scattered X-rays, gives radically enhanced image contrast performance at a very reduced dose. Only JSB can produce such an image at such doses, bringing the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles to levels never met before.
JSB people are not satisfied with the current state-of-the-art with regards to radiation safety in the field of X-ray imaging in particular and ionizing radiation based imaging systems in general. The effects of ionizing radiation on the environment and human health today are unnecessarily destructive. When developing new products and devices, JSB relies on safe, innovative technology that allows for reduction of the radiation dose utilized and thus the harmful effects of medical X-radiation on the patient. The utilization of these innovative methods provides a drastic reduction in the radiation exposure to both patient and staff while maintaining the high diagnostic quality of the digital X-ray image that medical X-ray imaging demands. These reductions in radiation profile are often greater than ten fold and provide for the creation of a new radiation safety standard.
A new study suggests that a drug is currently under development to protect cells from the damaging effects of radiation exposure. The new developmental drug assists mitochondria in combating irradiation-induced cell death. But currently, no drugs on the market counteract the effects of radiation exposure. In this respect, DDR Inventor-V is very beneficial since its effective exposure time is shorter than that of other radiography systems. That means low noise characteristics of detector and application of scanning method make a result of low radiation dose to patients.
We believe that all radiologists should always try to limit the radiation dose to our patients as much as possible. DDR Inventor-V will decrease radiation exposure and will streamline the workflow for technologists.
The difference between the scanning time and exposure time in the scanning systems is as follows. The exposure time in X-ray systems (both film and digital) characerizes the time of exposure (influence time) of the patient to the X-ray radiation for obtaining a high-quality X-ray image. The exposure time depends on the receiver sensitivity, kind of examination, radiation parameters and is from units up to hundreds milliseconds. In turn, the scanning time characterizes the time of passing over the selected (by means of the collimator) area of (scanning this area by) a very narrow fan-like X-ray beam. So patient is exposed to radiation layer-by-layer, as against the traditional radiography, where the patient is exposed to a wide beam acting simultanously upon the whole selected area.
Many clients and end-users wonder why the patient exposure dose in digital X-ray scanning system is lower than in other types of digital X-ray systems. The lower patient exposure dose is conditioned by high sensitivity of the X-ray image receiver, absense of anti-scattering grid, short time of an effective exposure of the patient.
Dosage is quite a sensitive matter and the primary reason why pregnant women and children are only X-rayed under strict conditions. With the JSB machine the danger of an overdose is taken away and both children and pregnant women could be X-rayed without concern.
Most innovative, JSB's DR system's radiation dose is about 1/3 to 1/5 of that of existing film-type or other DRs in general chest imaging. And recently, the ratio has been lowered up to 1/10 with the help of efficiency improvement of its detector. This is according to the study: Comparison of Radiation Dose of DDR Inventor-V to CR & DR in Long Bone and Spot Scanogram Imaging at 41st the Annual Meeting of Korean Radiological Technologists Association.
JSB has a novel medical imaging technique that allows long bone imaging of patients using radiation doses up to 80% lower than those required for a standard CR (computed radiography) X-ray. JSB is a revolutionary solution to reduce irradiation linked to radiological investigations, which has risen by 600% over the past 20 years. The benefits of JSB DR are particularly important in pediatrics, because children undergo X-rays throughout their development, when their organs are highly susceptible to ionizing radiation. JSB DR is also significantly beneficial in adults who do not wish to be exposed to ionizing radiation during standard X-rays or CT scans.

Operating software DR-Works, which was developed considering convenience of users, has compatibility with hospital information system (HIS) or PACS by keeping DICOM protocol. In addition, medium and small hospitals also can manage patient information, inspection and image information with DR-Works by the viewer and database.

In addition, medium and small hospitals also can manage patient information, inspection and image information with DR-Works by the viewer and database.
MIC Detector
Digital radiography system, DDR Inventor-V, adopts MIC(Multi-channel Ionization Chamber) detector which has intrinsic features of hig efficiency by direct conversion of incident X-ray to electric signal, high fill factor without dead zone and without dead pixel and adopts scanning system which can prevent scattered radiation with fan beam. These characteristics of MIC detector provide merit of high image quality with low dose irradiation against patient.
Most of the digital radiography systems which are based on charge-coupled device(CCD) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) are indirect conversion type that uses scintillator to convert incident X-ray into visible light. That is, they need two-step process to get electronic signal for digital image and that image quality is significantly affected by scintillator. On the other hand, MIC detector is direct conversion type. The X-ray irradiation which passed through the patient penetrates into the space between the electrodes. And the gas in the chamber is ionized to generate charges on the corresponding electrodes. The induced charges are read directly by electronics.
Fill factor is the ratio of the sensitive area of the pixel to the effective area of the detector element itself. If the fill factor is small, light photons from a part of incident X-rays may never be recorded. MIC detector has no loss of effective sensing area because most of all ions are captured between the electrodes. Above all, MIC detector has nearly no dead pixel by its intrinsic characteristics.
The MIC detector has strong durability on operating such as surrounding temperature, humidity, vibration and treatment. This feature provides users with benefit on the maintenance for economic operation. Also, JSB can provide a full-coverage of customer service in short time, since it has its own technology on core parts and keeps sufficient inventory.
DQE is the measure of the combined effect of the noise and contrast performance of an imaging system. The detector with high DQE provides high quality image and potential advantage of low radiation dose. DQE of MIC detector is as high as about 50% at 2.5 lp/mm.

Grid
Some clients want to know whether the use of the anti-scattering grid in the scanning systems is required. The scattered radiation is deflected and does not get on the sensitive area of the X-ray sensitive detector, because the X-ray image receiver is a very narrow linear array X-ray sensitive detector.
Vascular Pulsations
Many clients are worried that the vascular pulsations caused by the hearbeats might affect the quality and diagnostic capabilities of the digital X-ray image. This is not the case. Because the scanning time is short, the exposure time does not exceed 10 miliseconds. It is confirmed by the experience of examination of many patients.
Exact Vertical Size
The film-screen and flat plate type detector cannot avoid the image distortion in vertical and horizontal directions. Scan-DR shows real size of image in the vertical direction.
Screen-film radiography has geometric distortion in horizontal and vertical direction. DDR Inventor-V can show exact real size in vertical direction because there is no geometric distortion in vertical (scanning) direction.

Exposure Time
Normal exposure time of conventional screen-film radiography for chest is about 0.01 ~ 0.05 sec. In the case of Scan DR, exposure time per line depends on scanning speed and is under 0.005 sec. at normal scan speed. Therefore, effective exposure time of Scan DR is shorter than that of other radiography systems. In addition, characteristics of MIC detector related to high image quality such as direct conversion, low scattered radiation and high fill factor contribute to low radiation dose on patients.
Scatter Issue
Scattered X-ray photons can contribute very significantly to the exposure of the image. In screen-film or flat panel type radiography, scattered radiation causes a reduction of contrast of the image. The main effect of scattered radiation is to increase the noise of image. Grids are used to reduce scattered radiation, but can also produce artifacts on the image.
In the case of scan type, the fan beam by collimator reduces scattered radiation from patient and linear structure of detector also prevents incident scattered ray from patient. Therefore, there is no need for severe image processing to remove the noise from scattered radiation and image processing speed is very fast.

Benefits of Scan Type DR
1) The influence of non-diagnostic scatter radiation on image quality is minimized without the need for dose increasing anti-scatter grids.
2) Scatter radiation, though inherent in image processes, is largely deflected away from the narrow, linear X-ray detector and so contribute minimally to the image.
3) Contrast sensitivity is substantially improved due to the near elimination of scatter radiation from adjacent structures.
4) DDR Inventor scanning technology ensures reasonable cost of entry and low operational and maintenance related costs.
5) Vascular pulsations caused by heartbeats do not affect the image quality due to the very short effective exposure time and the short scanning cycle.
6) Compact dimensions of less than 1,700mm x 1,100mm.

Size of Long Image with Exposure
When the "Line Scan Type X-ray Diagnostic Equipment" of JSB is applied, there will ideally be no limit to the length of the subject. In case of equipment under development by JSB, radiographic imaging of a subject with a maximum length of 100 mm with line width of 410 mm is possible at 2,048 x 5,000 pixels. This means that taking X-rays of long subjects such as the leg bones or the vertebrae will be easily possible. Also, despite the subjects being great at length, the total time it takes to take an X-ray is less than 10 sec., even with image processing time. It is also easier to operate when compared to the existing method of moving the subject to different positions or using many units of FPD. Actually, the diagnostic equipment developed by JSB has been under clinical trial at a hospital in Seoul, and the results of time or images have been rated to be much more satisfactory when compared to the CR (Computed Radiography) system previously used in that hospital. When compared to the existing CR equipment, the time it took to take X-rays per person was as short as 1/5, significantlydiminishing the time spent to take X-rays over a 1 year period. On the contrary, when the scan-DR equipment is used, taking more X-rays during a given period is possible, thus resulting in the increase in efficiency in hospital operation. Because many X-ray photos are attached together to show the final photo when CR equipment is used, disconnections in the final image are inevitable, which is also the case with FPD or CCD detectors. However, when the Scan-DR is used to take X-rays, there will be no disconnections due to its scan method, resulting in clear images.

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.
Economic Installation, Operation and Repair/Maintenance
The scan-form digital X-ray diagnostic system offered by our company has a very low installation cost, less than half of the installation cost of FPD (Flat Panel Detector). Also, the detector's direct exposure to radiation, as with FPD, will diminish the life of electronic components, making the replacement cycle of the detector 2 to 3 years. However, detectors in the form of gas chamber has less of such effects, lowering the occurrence of dead pixels or that of diminished sensor sensitivity of the detector, making it last much longer. last, this form of diagnostic system is structurally stable even in harsh operational conditions such as rough handling, external vibration, high or low temperatures. Because the price of the detector is basically low, the maintenance cost can also be kept low.
Technology of JSB DR
The most important part of the X-ray diagnostic system is the X-ray detector. The value of the detector among various components of the equipment, whether the system is CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) or FPD (Flat Panel Detector), is around 45 to 55% of the entire cost. The greatest difference between the general X-ray diagnostic system and the scan-type digital X-ray system offered by JSB Medics is the gas chamber type X-ray diagnostic equipment which makes it possible to see through large sized subjects even with low level of radiation. To rephrase, X-ray radiated in line form penetrates the subject, to be entered into the gas chamber form X-ray detector behind the subject. The X-ray generator and detector move to the concerned area in a constant speed to shoot the subject. The gas chamber form X-ray detector is filled with xenon (Xe) gas which is ionized by the X-ray. This in turn is turned into an image after being quantified by the ion counter. The following shows the advantages of the "scan-type X-ray diagnostic system" developed by JSB Medics when compared to the existing CCD or FPD.

In Comparison to CR (Computed Radiography)
Long-length imaging is an essential radiography technique in the field of orthopedic surgery for the diagnosis of scoliosis and alignment measurements on the full length of the lower limbs. In the most hospitals, they conduct radiography with multiple IPs loaded in a long-length cassette and join the images together when reading them.
The conventional CR long-length imaging operation is complex. It requires switching the IP and reading the image after every exposure. Patient throughput is poor, as the patient has to wait in the radiography room while the images are being checked. Conversely, slot-scan radiography requires just the start and end positions to be set. Images can be checked immediately after radiography is complete, which reduces the examination time and improves efficiency.
Conventional CR long-length imaging is difficult in cases where a wide imaging field is required, such as patients with severe scoliosis and radiography of both legs simultaneously. With its 990mm MIC detector movement range and 410mm wide coverage, slot-scan DR flexibly accommodates a diverse range of radiography examinations. As many scoliosis patients are young, it is important to reduce the X-ray exposure dose over the follow-up examinations over many years. JSB's slot-scan DR exploits the wide dynamic range of the MIC detector to perform radiography with a lower X-ray exposure dose than the conventional method.
With its easy operation and excellent patient throughput, slot-scan DR could replace cassette radiography. The slot-scan DR function satisfies a range of clinical requirements and we anticipate that it will become increasingly effective for long-length imaging.

Advantages and Benefits of Digital Radiography Systems
Delivering high quality radiographic images almost instantaneously, JSB slot-scan imaging technique improves overall productivity thus significantly reducing the cost of digital radiography systems in comparison with digital X-ray equipment based on other types of imaging devices. JSB DR generates 41cm x 99cm images with 2048 pixels x 5710 pixels in standard mode.
- Low Dose: The overriding advantage of digital scanning technology is that digital X-ray images offer consistently excellent image quality and high contrast resolution at a lower dose. A recent study indicates that digital radiography achieved comparable image quality with conventional film radiography with 50 - 70 percent radiation dosage reduction.
- Cost Reduction: No film costs as well as improved workflow and increased throughput have a dramatic impact on expenses. Reliable and sturdy design reduces maintenance expenditures. The main advantages of slot-scan chest and long bone radiography are the speed at which imaging can be acquired and interpreted with the low cost and the low radiation exposure.
- Compactness: Typical standard X-ray room with medium patient load needs to be equipped for all radiographic applications. A limited room size shouldn't determine the degree of flexibility. JSB offers compact systems with excellent features and maneuverability. You can even create a standard radiography room in small areas, where no ceiling suspension system is going to fit.
- Speed and Safety: The scan DR system gives both operators and patients fast and effective solution with a maximum level of performance.
- Sophisticated Image Processing Technology: JSB has developed a solution that is allowed to display all diagnostically relevant information in one single image, giving more confidence in diagnosing. Manual procedures, like applying wedge filters, multiple processing to display all required areas of the image or adjusting contrast and brightness, become obsolete.
- Effective Computer-based X-ray Diagnostics: The automated digital workflow allows for the timesaving handling of patient and administrative data via RIS and PACS integration. Also shorterned image acquisition times and faster image distribution increase department efficiency. Shorter waiting times for the patients increase customer satisfaction.

High X-ray Patient Throughput
The tightly focused X-ray beam produces virtually no scattered radiation, making the JSB DR safe and easy to operate. Lesser skilled operators can produce quality images by using far less radiation dose than anyone else in the industry. The JSB DR's speed of operation ensures that it is suited to high X-ray patient throughput situation. It needs fewer views to be taken to complete an exam. It has excellent spatial and contrast resolution. Linear slot scan DR technology increases workflow, reduces costs and increases productivity. It is compatible with PACS for the all digital imaging department.
No Cassette Needed for Long Body Scan
JSB DR has arbitrary size of maximum 16" x 39" or 410mm x 990mm image. And it does not need a long size cassette for whole spin and long bone. Therefore, it has great efficiency for chiropractic study (1:1 scale of vertical direction). It is unique in the sense that it can obtain a long body X-ray picture with only one scan by the machine, while conventional X-rays can only cover a single section of the body per scan.
Speedy Image Acquisition Time
The JSB machine takes a maximum of 5 seconds to do a long body scan. As soon as scanning is done, the data collected is processed and a long body digital X-ray image is available for examination within 2 seconds. The X-ray picture is scalable and the medical personnel can look at the long body in one glance and zoom into specific detail should they need to. Also due to the fact that the picture is digital, it can be distributed quite easily.
Time Saving JSB DR System
The JSB DR provides a higher precision in diagnosis and more convenient operability in addition to enhancing its reliability and economic efficiency. It can be controlled at the PC monitor and the time and cost for procurement, developing and transmission of films can also be significantly reduced. The easy access to the patient and the enhanced functional reliability have been realized by adopting the scan type MIC in which the krypton gas is filled up and sealed. One of the largest motivators for healthcare facilities to adopt our system is that the JSB DR considerably reduces time and costs associated with processing and managing images as well as storing films.
Excellent Efficiency of JSB DR
JSB DR's fully integrated system is designed to increase efficiency in patient exam time. The Scan-DR system offers a quicker turnaround for digital images than CR does and eliminates everything associated with film processing from an analogue facility. Compared to processing film and storing chemicals, the image acquisition process is far more efficient. Therefore, the images are available within seconds with excellent image quality. The DR alleviated workflow backups and doctors are now able to see more patients in a day. We are confident of the Scan-DR's continued growth in the orthopedic and chiropractic market as it will continue to phase out older, less practical film processing methods.

Motion Blurring
Since the collimator makes the radiation in the form of fan beam, the detector detects line by line the fan-beam radiograph. Compared to exposure time of film screen or FPD or CCD being 0.01 - 0.1 sec. the scan speed per line of our DR system is about 0.0035 sec.. Considering maximum motion speed is about 7 cm/sec., motion distortion cannot be seen because the relative speed between adjacent muscle or organs is relatively low. That is why instantaneous scanning X-ray exposure (scanning motion over the body) greatly reduces motion artifacts, so complete patient immobilization is not critical, which means the patient does not need to be completely still while scanning. Although it seemed that our scanning DR had a higher probability of producing a motion artifact, a previous study conducted by Samsung Medical Center demonstrated that motion in a brief period degraded only a small segment of slot scanning image, while it affects the entire portion of CR image. Continuous motion throughout the image acquisition period caused an artifact that was less apparent with our scanning DR method than the CR method. Actually, none of the scanning DR images had any significant motion artifacts leading to a difficulty in reaching the correct diagnosis.

Radiation Scatter and Machine Placement
Authorities are very sensitive when it gets to the governing of the placement and operation of X-ray equipment as well as human exposure to X-rays. The JSB scanner has minimal (insignificant) X-ray scatter - in other words the entire X-ray dose utilized is used for the X-ray. With conventional X-ray equipment rooms need to be specifically prepared for placement of the machine and operators are obliged to operate the machine from a distance protected by lead aprons and screens. The JSB machine is unique in that it can be placed in any room and operating personnel are not exposed to scatterd X-rays.
X-ray dosage
The JSB machine uses approximately 25% of the X-ray dose of one conventional chest X-ray to create the full spine image. Dosage is quite a sensitive matter and the primary reason why pregnant women and children are only X-rayed under strict conditions. With the JSB machine the danger of an overdose is taken away and both children and pregnant women could be X-rayed without concern. CT scanners are the worst when X-ray dose is taken into account. Its dose is exponentially higher than the JSB scanner.
Speed of Operation
The JSB machine takes a maximum of 5 seconds to do a whole spine or long bone scan. As soon as the scanning is done, the data collected is processed and a long-bone digital X-ray image is available for examination within 1-2 minutes. The X-ray picture is scalable and the medical personnel can look at the full spine or long bone in one glance or zoom into specific detail should they need to. Also due to the fact that the picture is digital, it can be distributed quite easily. Conventional X-rays and CT scanners could give the same result but to get a good quality image can take up to 30 minutes and much longer to collate enough data for a full-body picture.
JSB system's unique characteristics
1) It is one of the only a few digital X-ray systems that produces a full-spine X-ray picture.
2) It can complete an entire multi-view X-ray examination in a few seconds.
3) Its low dose technology is the safest X-ray system for healthcare personnel and patients.
4) X-ray dose used is estimated to be about 25% of equivalent other techniques 975% less dose is typically required).
5) Its technology produces minimal amount of X-ray scatter, thereby further minimizing radiation exposure of patients and heathcare personnel.
6) Its X-ray exposure can be custom tailored to meet the diagnostic needs of the pediatric patient (children).
7) Its instantaneous X-ray exposure 9scanning motion over the body0 greatly reduces motion artifacts, thus the patient does not need to be completely still while scanning.
Thus, the JSB machine is the lowest dose X-ray system ever produced and the safest for outpatients, pregnant women, children and healthcare personnel.

System Function and Core Advantages
The JSB DR function conducts radiography with the X-ray beam collimated into a slit by moving the X-ray tube and MIC detector at constant speed in the body-axis direction. The digital radiographic scanning systems (digital radiographic scanners) constitute a new class (type) of digital radiographic devices of both general and special purpose in which the scanning technologies for obtaining the digital X-ray image are used.
JSB is proud to offer the scanning digital radiography for long body, designed to provide high quality images with low X-ray exposure. Advantages include no long size cassette needed, arbitrary image size, maximum 16" x 39" image and great efficiency on chiropractic and orthopedic studies. Advantages of MIC (multi-channel ionization chamber) detector include direct conversion, high fill factor and no dead pixels. Other advantages are no scattering, low dose and low distortion of irradiation.

Application of JSB DR Systems
The JSB DR is for diagnosis of patients in standing position with clear advantages compared to those using standard X-ray imaging receivers. This system offers the industry's highest image quality with dramatically reduced radiation dose and the virtual elimination of motion artifacts. The system with its compact and sturdy design, integrated X-ray tube and slit-collimator, meets the specific screening requirements such as high patient throughput, fast viewing, low radiation exposure and low cost. The system for obtaining the long-body digital radiographic images is the ideal solution for quick diagnostics of patients in orthopedic and chiropractic cases. It is intended for obtaining high-quality X-ray images of the patient's bone structures and soft tissues in the standing position and it is optimal for equipping of radiology departments of regional outpatients clinics, hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers. In comparison with digital radiographic systems based on standard flat panels, image plates and other types of digital imaging detectors, the JSB digital radiography system provides a considerable number of clear advantages for performing speedy diagnostics of patients. Its application includes radiology department of outpatient clinics, diagnostic imaging centers, orthopedics and chiropractics. In Korea, more and more diagnostic centers are interested in installing JSB DR for general chest screening purposes. The system is intended to produce high quality digital radiographic chest images for the purpose of screening and diagnostic chest radiography. It allows performing early diagnostics of diseases of the thorax organs including tuberculosis, cancer and others. It is the optimal solution for equipping of radiology departments of regional outpatient clinics, hospitals and diagnostic centers. And the system allows low operating costs due to savings on X-ray films, chemicals, film processor and maintenance expenditures.
Mechanism of Action of JSB DR System
While the patient stands, a vertical drive mechanism inside JSB DR moves X-ray tube and collimator down along the patient. In only seven seconds or less, whole spine digital radiographs are taken. JSB DR not only improves accuracy but also saves technologist and patient waiting time during busy clinics with no stitching, no cassette handling. For decades, radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons and rheumatologists have relied on a set of X-ray images to fully assess a patient's osteoarticular condition. AP and LAT views have been used to help physicians imagine what a 3D skeletal image would look like.
JSB DR captures whole spine image of a standing patient in a single scan without any stitching or vertical distortion, with an outstanding image quality. The lack of vertical distortion, thanks to the JSB slot scanning technology and its unique reference plane positioning, provides true size images, in 1:1 scale, for highly accurate measurement. With JSB DR, radiologists and orthopedists can now have a full view of their patient's whole spine and long bone with a drastic reduction of radiation exposure, a faster workflow. JSB DR captures frontal and lateral full spine or long bone images of patients in the upfront, weight bearing position. JSB technology uses a perpendicular X-ray beam collimated in very thin, horizontal, fan-shaped beam and detector. Fan-beam X-ray and detector are mounted on a frame and scan the patient's body. The detector detects line by line an extremely high contrast digital radiograph, while the dose administered to the patient does not exceed a dose equivalent to the exposure that results from a few transatlantic flights.
The JSB DR's digital output requires no film processing. This reduces operating costs dramatically. Patients can be assessed quickly with the large format full-spine digital image or smaller format detailed studies. The JSB DR produces images that are as sharp as those made by conventional X-ray equipment. The tightly focused X-ray beam produces virtually no scattered radiation, making the system safe and easy to operate. Lesser skilled operators can produce quality images by using far less radiation dose than anyone else in the industry. The JSB DR's speed of operation ensures that it is suited to high X-ray patient throughput situations.
