TRAUMA

TRAUMA APPLICATIONS:
- VP Shunts – Allows visualisation of VP Shunt pathway
- Urinary Stones – Stone detection with reduced radiation
- Gunshot – Rapidly locate bullet projectiles without Interrupting Resus
- Poly-Trauma – Rapid screening in multiple anatomical regions simultaneously
- Skeletal Survey – Proven ability with fast low dose radiation screening – for skeletal lesions, cancer and myeloma
- Foreign Body – Precision Imaging in locating Foreign objects in patients
High Image Quality
Trauma Value:
- Lodox Xmplar-dr provides high-speed, high-quality, low-radiation full-body imaging in a single scan, combined with three-dimensional reconstruction and zooming functionality.
- Source: Full-body low-radiation radiography using Lodox Xmplar-dr.
13 Seconds High Speed
Trauma Value:
- Lodox-Xmplar-dr is a whole-body, skeletal, and soft-tissue, low-dose X-ray scanner. Anterior-posterior and lateral thoraco-abdominal studies are obtained in 3-5 minutes with only about one-third of the radiation required for conventional radiography.

Low Radiation
Trauma Value:
- Lodox Xmplar-dr is superior to digital chest radiography in the diagnostic work-up of ingested foreign bodies because it makes it possible to enlarge the field of view to the entire body, has higher sensitivity and specificity, and reduces the radiation dose by 65%.

Rapid Full-Body Imaging
Trauma Value:
- Lodox-Xmplar-dr is a full-body, skeletal, and soft-tissue, low-dose X-ray scanner. Anterior-posterior and lateral thoraco-abdominal studies are obtained in 3-5 minutes with only about one-third of the radiation required for conventional radiography.

Ease of Use
Trauma Value:
- In contrast to conventional X-ray equipment, the Lodox system features a user-friendly interface and is particularly well-suited for use in countries where forensic radiographers are scarce. With adequate training, forensic pathologists can operate the scanner independently, requiring little to no assistance from licensed radiation personnel.
