TUSTIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gates Vascular Institute is now able to conduct safer exams using Spot Fluoroscopy, a cardiovascular X-ray dose management technology from Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. GVI utilizes Spot Fluoroscopy with its InfinixTM-i bi-plane to reduce radiation exposure to both patients and physicians. “Patients and clinicians are exposed to less radiation, as Spot Fluoroscopy enables our team to focus on the region of interest without radiating the entire area,” said Vijay Iyer, M.D., Ph.D., FACC, medical director of cardiology at Kaleida Health and assistant professor of medicine at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (UB). “This is beneficial especially in coronary artery, peripheral, electrophysiology and neurological exams, where the field of interest is narrow, but seeing outside this area helps with procedure efficiency.”
