Patient Centering in CT: Ensuring Accuracy with Imalogix

Author: David Steigerwalt, MS, CNMT VP, Research at Imalogix

While various imaging scenarios may call for varying techniques, proper patient centering in CT scans is not just a technical detail—it’s a critical component of radiological practice that directly impacts both image quality and patient safety. Miscentering can lead to increased radiation exposure and suboptimal images, which in turn can affect diagnostic accuracy. This is where Imalogix steps in, providing cutting-edge tools to assist radiologic technologists in achieving precise patient centering, thereby enhancing the overall quality and safety of CT imaging.

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, artificial intelligence (AI) has
emerged as a game-changer in the field of radiology. This technological
advancement has the potential to revolutionize the way medical imaging is
interpreted, diagnosed, and managed. While AI brings efficiency and accuracy
to the forefront of radiology, it is essential to understand that it is not set to
replace radiologists. Rather, AI's role is to enhance the capabilities and
effectiveness of radiologists in their crucial mission to provide expert medical
care.
