Core Features of the Orthoscan TAU 2020
The Orthoscan TAU 2020 is a unique machine in the mini C-arm class. It’s slightly bigger and more powerful than other machines from Orthoscan, and it could be right for you.
These are important features of the TAU 2020 you should know about:
- Very large detector
- Lightweight frame
- Simple user interface
- Built-in procedure presets
- Extensive dose management
Smaller detectors often mean repeated patient repositioning and scans. The TAU 2020 provides a 20cm by 20cm detector that is about twice the size of detectors found on typical mini C-arms.
This larger detector can help to reduce radiation doses, as fewer rescans are required. Your team can also save time by getting the information they need at once.
The Orthoscan TAU 2020 weighs just 475 pounds, and it’s mounted on multi-directional wheels. It’s easy for your team to move the machine from place to place and slide it into position. The arm also slides into place for long-term storage.
The Orthoscan TAU 2020 is powered by Orthotouch—an advanced touchscreen interface. It allows your team to make quick anatomical selections, and there’s on-screen help for those who need assistance.
Orthotouch comes standard with some procedures preprogrammed. Your team can tap a button to get started quickly and effectively.
The machine also allows your team to create custom presets for the exams and settings they often perform. This customization could streamline procedures and enable your team to see more patients.
The TAU 2020 can reduce cumulative dose reduction by up to 86%. An optimized dose filter setting can maintain image quality while ensuring that the lowest dose possible is used. This setting ensures that the TAU 2020 can be used with pediatric patients.
Technology
Technological advances ensure that the TAU 2020 becomes a valuable and critical part of your imaging capabilities. While many of these features are new and innovative, they’re also easy for your team to use.
The TAU 2020 has a 20cm by 20cm flat-panel CMOS detector. This panel delivers exceptional image clarity, making it valuable for uncovering problems that other machines might miss.
CMOS also helps minimize radiation exposure, as your team members won’t need to take repeated scans to obtain the required data. Less imaging time also improves the overall patient experience.
The Orthoscan TAU 2020 features an optimized dose filter, ensuring that your patients receive only the required amount of radiation. Because of this feature, the TAU 2020 is approved for pediatric use.
The TAU 2020 also provides pulsed fluoroscopy, which was previously available only on full-size C-arms. This feature significantly reduces radiation doses required for crisp exams.
The TAU 2020 offers laser alignment. Your team can use this feature to ensure their patients are in the right position before the scan begins, reducing the risk that the images will be blurry and require a reshoot.
The TAU 2020 is DICOM 3.0 compliant. This means it can communicate quickly and effectively with your existing machines and systems, reducing your installation time frame.
The Orthoscan TAU 2020 comes standard with a footswitch. Your team can use this feature to adjust settings and parameters without leaving the sterile environment. There are no cords that could provide a tripping hazard.
