BARC TRANSFERS TECHNOLOGY OF DIGITAL MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEM (DMIS)

摘要

The technology of Digital Medical Imaging System (DMIS) developed by the Laser & Neutron Physics Section (L&NPS), Physics Group was transferred to M/s. Nucleotech Medical System International Ltd., Navi Mumbai, on November 16, 2006. DMIS is an advanced film-less X-ray imaging system, with four functions viz. Fluoroscopy, Radiography, Digital Subtraction Angiography and Offline study in a single multipurpose unit. It offers reduced patient dose of the order of 1 to 2 as compared to conventional radiography units. It mainly consists of high frequency X-ray generator, coupled to the X-ray Image Intensifier Tube, to convert input X-ray signal to optical output signal, which in turn is coupled to CCD through special optics. It is a PC- based system with user friendly software, having important image processing and operator friendly features, as required by radiofogists and X-ray technicians. A dedicated database management facility, caters to easy storage and retrieval of patient data. The first system designed and developed by BARC, has been in use at BARC hospital, for the last one year.
