VitalScreen

VitalScreen provides guidance at your staff’s fingertips. Two 12-inch interactive touchscreens on the scanner provide coaching and visual guidance on recommended patient position, study laterality, coil and accessory placement. Moreover, feedback is provided on important exam details, including physiology signals (both VCG and respiratory) and, if applicable, contrast usage and breathhold guidance.

VitalEye

VitalEye AI-based touchless patient sensing provides a fast detection of patient’s breathing without any operator interaction. With VitalEye, the technologist no longer needs to set up an old-fashioned respiratory belt but receives a continuous and robust respiratory signal without any interaction. This revolution in touchless patient sensing helps your staff to keep a caring eye on your patient. The quality of the physiology signal detected by VitalEye is better than a belt-based approach providing superior image quality, for a broad range of patient sizes.

"The entire workflow is smooth: patient positioning and set-up; launching the scan as soon as we leave the exam room; the intuitive touchscreen on the gantry; Touchless patient sensing... All of these things are much better than on our old system."
