Swimmers Features

Image improvement with the use of the swimmers filter

This equalizing x-ray filter reduces overexposure to the cervical spine to produce a balanced density from C-1 to T-1

The model 100 H filter is slid into the collimator rails, opened, the CR collimated, then the filter is closed for exposure.

Lateral Hip Features

Application for lateral cervical spines with CR @ 72 inches to increase information on the lower cervical and upper thoracic, very often reducing the need for a swimmer view

The x-ray filter increases visual detail through additional coning (see photo). The lead coning rails assure proper coning at 40 inches. It creates a border one inch wide on the length of the image.
