How does a Clover Image Intensifier affect patient radiation dose relative to traditional systems?

The Clover Image Intensifier is designed to enhance image quality while minimizing the amount of radiation exposure to patients. This technology typically reduces the required radiation dose compared to traditional systems by using more advanced imaging techniques and efficiencies in capturing and processing images.

With improved sensitivity, the Clover Image Intensifier can produce high-quality images at lower radiation levels. This means that healthcare providers can perform diagnostic procedures without needing to increase the radiation dosage to achieve the necessary image clarity. Lower radiation doses are particularly beneficial for patient safety, as reducing the exposure can help lower the risk of potential radiation-related harm, making the imaging process safer for patients.

Traditional systems often require higher doses of radiation to produce comparable images due to limitations in their technology and sensitivity. Therefore, the Clover Image Intensifier's ability to reduce the required radiation dose represents a significant advancement in medical imaging practices.
