RADIATION SAFETY ADD-ON

AR Proctoring Tool

The first radiation awareness augmented reality simulation add-on.

A proctoring tool that provides awareness to the harmful ionizing radiation generated during x-ray-guided procedures.

The augmented reality-based application connects to the Simbionix ANGIO Mentor, to allow Cath Lab and hybrid OR teams to practice various endovascular simulation cases, and establish the ALARA principles by effectively grasping the three basic protective measures: time, distance, and shielding. The application shows real-time radiation scatter in the room, taking into consideration C-arm projections and other imaging parameters.

Features and Benefits:

  • Connects to a variety of simulation modules in real time
  • Enables radiation-free proctoring for radiation safety in a real-life clinical settings
  • Integrates radiation scatter visualization with a real C-arm that may be connected to the simulator
  • Based on clinical studies and radiation distribution models*
  • Compatible with all generations of ANGIO Mentor Suite
  • Supports remote screen sharing – a great tool for webinars
  • Both Wi-Fi and Cable connection are available

Minimize radiation exposure through interactive learning to protect your patients and team.
