KUB 250

A NICU dedicated X-ray system is about saving the lives of the tiniest and most helpless of patients. Premature born babies are especially vulnerable and their care requires special equipment. This is no exception when considering X-ray imaging requirements of neonatal care. As babies in NICU are exposed to frequent X-ray tests, as part of their care routine, patient care levels can be improved if a designated neonatal imaging unit, a KUB 250, is used.

KUB 250 can operate a whole day on one battery charge. Its small structure and light weight make is especially mobile for the high convenience of the NICU staff. The dose level of the KUB 250 is reduced to up to 40% of regular imaging equipment, thus enhancing the safety of both patients and staff, as well as insuring better long term clinical outcomes by avoiding exposure to high levels of radiation 

Because the system is designated to the NICU, cross contamination form other departments in the hospital can be avoided, once again improving patient care levels and safety. The availability of the unit exclusively for neonatal care improves the imaging throughput and the decision making work-flow. The CMOS detector enables image resolution of 96 microns, for extra fine detail detection. Images can be easily acquired, analyzed and annotated and then seamlessly transfered to PACS due to DICOM compatible software. The KUB 250 combined with XTEND portable X-ray source are the ideal mobile NICU imaging system.
