Intelligent virtual and AI-based collimation features appear to save radiographers time during x-ray image acquisitions – a key function for enabling more patient-focused workflows, according to a recent study. In research led by scientists at Siemens Healthineers , the use of “auto thorax collimation” for instance reduced x-ray exam lengths by 31% and the number of system interactions by 50% compared to manual collimation, noted lead author Anna Rasche, PhD, and colleagues.

An 84-year-old male patient with sternal leiomyosarcoma initially underwent systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy, resulting in stable disease for 2 years, followed by symptomatic recurrence. The recurrence measured 8.6 × 8.0 × 6.7 cm and was compressing the pericardium and the lingula (Fig 1). An accompanying pericardial effusion further impaired the patient’s physical activity, and the patient was deemed a poor candidate for surgery and other treatment options.
