Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction Home Care Path

Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASiR) is an advanced image reconstruction technique that makes it possible to dramatically reduce radiation doses when delivering a CT (Computed Tomography) scans. The ASiR technique allows radiologists to reduce noise in an image and improve quality. The image can be adjusted to reduce the fuzzy and enhance sharpness.

Recall radiation is a process where energy travels through space. Radiation can result in changes to the person it passes through, Radiation with sufficiently high energy can alter the person at the atom level. The changes of the atoms is thought to contribute to the development of cancer. The lower the radiation the less the concern about changes at the atom level.

Medical providers depend on the information a CT (Computed Tomography) scan can reveal to improve the accuracy of diagnosing. The CT images give the viewer of glimpse of disease development much more precise than available with the naked eye. Expect to see machines with ASiR technology showing up in Wisconsin hospitals to better serve patients.
