Zenition DoseWise: Ensures low X-ray dose for patients and staff
Philips has built a reputation for excellence in imaging and dose efficiency over half a century of experience in developing mobile C-arm systems for the surgical environment. Our Zenition mobile surgery solutions are built on a comprehensive approach to dose management. It provides clinically relevant image quality during interventional procedures for pain management applications, while efficiently managing radiation exposure to patients and medical staff.
Zenition’s unique dose control features3
Up to 90% reduction in X-ray dose by selecting clinically optimized acquisitionprotocols from the wide range of dose-frame rate combinations.4
Up to 49% reduction in Dose Area Product (DAP) with Automatic Shutter Positioning protects patient anatomy and in-room personnel from unnecessary exposure.4
40% reduction in patient skin dose through additional copper and aluminum beam filtration, which increase the quality of the X-ray beam.4
Philips technologies for interventional pain management
Customized pain examination setting
Unique pre-configured pain management examination setting allows the users to easily set up the system during the interventional procedures for pain management.
Automatic image enhancement
MetalSmart automatically excludes metal artifacts caused by metal implants to provide higher image quality and efficient dose control for pain procedures and patients with metal implants, compared to systems without metal exclusion. BodySmart promotes first-time-right imaging and dose efficiency by automatically adapting the measuring field to the area of interest.
Unify workflow
When doing pain management procedures, reducing technical distractions and discussions can help interventionalist teams remain focused on the patients. With Unify workflow’s navigation aids, surgical teams experienced smoother interactions and less miscommunication in a usability study.1
Optimal C-Arc depth
The optimal depth of the fully counterbalanced C-arm provides ample room to position around obese patients and image the lumbar spine and hip. It supports over the table positioning, even with tables that have a large base.
Position Memory
Simplify workflow for challenging pain management cases requiring frequent re-positioning of the mobile C-arm. With Position Memory,2 participants in a usability study1 achieved 94% first-time right repositioning and experienced less frustration during (re)positioning tasks.
Touch screen module The Touch screen module5 (TSM) is designed to deliver value by enhancing the clinical capabilities of Zenition 70. As an addition to the Zenition 70 platform, the TSM supports full table-side control for surgeons during procedures.

1 Results obtained during user tests performed in November 2013 by Use-Lab GmbH, an independent company. The tests involved 30 USA based clinicians (15 physicians teamed up with 15 nurses or X-ray technicians), who performed simulated procedures using Philips mobile X –ray systems in a simulated OR environment. None of them had worked with each other before. 2 Position Memory is only available on Zenition Flat Detector systems. 3 The X-ray dose reductions refer to specific features, and will vary depending on the dose parameters selected. 4 Data on file.
