Repeating imaging exams increases the workload of your radiographers who are already stretched too thin; increases the exposure of the affected patients; and contributes to patients’ reduced confidence and satisfaction with your imaging department. The Audio Assist makes it easier for radiographers to hear the patients.

A fundamental goal of radiographers is to complete an imaging exam that provides sufficient information for an accurate clinical diagnosis–and at the lowest possible dose. We also have a Detector Verification alert that signals radiographers when they choose the wrong detector–which would result in the need to repeat the exam.
