Model 800 Scoliosis X-Ray Filter

The scoliosis x-ray filter consists of a base plate with magnetic strips to allow easy placement of both the AP and lateral wedges. The AP filter is graduated to decrease density evenly from T12 through the upper cervical spine. The lateral wedges decrease radiation in the cervical and thoracic spine areas. Where the x-ray filter is present, radiation is reduced to the patient 50% or more.

The Leg Length Filter is for both CR / DR and film. Can be used at both 72 to 100 inches. The filter is graduated to decrease exposure to the lower leg. The thin portion is positioned at mid-thigh. This graduation in the filter will even out the exposure. It has magnetic strips, which make for easy placement on the base plate. The leg filter is part of the scoliosis filter set.

To ensure the correct filter for your collimator, you must provide the vertical and horizontal lengths of the rails on the collimator that the filter will slide into. The vertical dimension is the distance between the rails (including the depth of the slot in the rail). The horizontal dimension is the length of the rails. Please use the Measuring Instructions link in the Product Attachments tab below to help determine these dimensions.
