Pediatric Application

Caution: Use of equipment and exposure settings designed for adults of average size

can result in excessive radiation exposure for a smaller patient. Studies have shown that

pediatric patients may be more radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the cancer risk per unit

dose of ionizing radiation is higher), and so unnecessary radiation exposure is of

particular concern for pediatric patients.

Warning: Every request should be reviewed by the pediatric radiologist prior to beginning

the examination to insure correct study is being performed.

Warning: The technologist should use the proper technique for the patient’s size to

decrease the radiation dose when the technologist acquires diagnostic images.

1 Overview

1.1 Principle

CareView 1500Cw is a kind of wireless portable digital X-ray flat panel detectors which

have 434mm×355mm imaging area. The device communicates by not only the wireless

communication but also wired communication feature (Giga-bit Ethernet communication

mode by connecting the power box) optionally.

The device intercepts X-ray photons and then the scintillator emits visible spectrum

photons that illuminate an array of photo detectors (a-Si) that create electrical signals.

After the electrical signals are generated, it is converted to a digital value and an image

will be displayed on the monitor.

The detector should be integrated with an operating PC and an X-ray generator to utilize

as digitalizing X-ray images and transfer for radiography diagnostic.

1.2 Features

 Wireless communication (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n) feature, and support double frequency

(2.4GHz/5GHz).

 14"x17" cassette-size detector easily fits into standard bucky tray cabinets for old

system upgrade, while CareView 1500Cw is also a good choice for general

radiography imaging systems.

 Designed with simple wiring and lightweight for portable applications.

 No connection to generator is necessary due to patented Full-Field Automatic

Exposure Detection (F2AED) Technology.

 High capacity battery and low-power operation ensure hundreds of X-ray shots in a

single-charge.

Page 18 of 55 RD-OI-16 A/0


 Light weight and slim design, built-in foldable handle, rubber insulated frame and high

strength aluminum-alloy case ensure safe and convenient moves, and also improve

image quality under vibrating environment.
