Given the variations in radiology departments like size, case mix, clinical practice and IT adoption, similar results cannot be guaranteed for all customers.  \nAffidea Group is a private pan-European healthcare provider, with Diagnostic Imaging at the core of its services, incorporating advanced technology in MR, CT and PET-CT.  \nWith more than 30 years of presence across 15 countries in Europe, and a real commitment to quality and precision in diagnostic imaging, Affidea collaborates with the best professionals, uses modern technology, and provides excellent patient care .  \nAffidea’s Dose Excellence Program received privileged recognition on the EuroSafe Imaging Wall of Stars with 73 centers awarded with 5 stars. With this Affidea is one of the most awarded healthcare providers in Europe for radiation protection and patient safety.  \nAffidea has been present in Portugal since March 2007, with more than 20 centers, providing high-  \nquality diagnostic imaging and laboratory services as well as, specialists’ consultations, performing around 7.5 million examinations per year.  \nThe Clínica Affidea Tomar (Portugal) is one of the first centers combining GE HealthCare’s deep-learning based image reconstruction for CT, TrueFidelity (TF), and DoseWatch Dose Management Software. The center is part of the Affidea’s Dose Excellence Program since 2014.  \nThe Opportunity for the Center  \nAt Affidea, patient safety is a strong commitment to the ultimate detail. CT Dose is optimized while image quality ensures diagnostic confidence.  \nClínica Affidea Tomar, a center distinguished for its Dose Excellence Program, explored the opportunity that presented itself to optimize radiation dose while preserving image quality.  \n“In line with our commitment to optimize dose and enhance patient safety, TrueFidelity came as an effective solution to respond to our needs.”  \nAfter a 3-month period with TrueFidelity, consistent optimization of the radiation dose was performed for every clinical indication and anatomical region. Multiphase abdomino-pelvic examinations were the studies where the impact was most noticed. Compared to former practice with a similar patient collective the protocol was optimized achieving up to 68% * of radiation dose reduction for abdominopelvic exams , while maintaining the accuracy of the image.  \n“With no impact on the workflow anda short adaptation period to image characteristics, noise reduction and tissue homogeneity are seemingly perceived.”  \nThe Opportunity for the Radiologists  \nRadiologis have two ambitions: Enhanced image quality and optimizing radiation dose  \nWhile a lower radiation dose is important to all patients, patients in need of consecutive CT exams like oncologic patients, patients with multiphase hepatic studies, and pediatric patients, will benefit mostly from optimization efforts of the Dose Excellence Program.  \nVascular imaging with TrueFidelity is also a good example of outstanding spatial and contrast resolutions with smoothened image texture. And the added benefit of the dose optimization comes also as very important for these patients, who perform CT examinations throughout their lives, including surveillance studies (until eventual surgical indication), pre-operative mapping and post-operative monitoring yearly for life.  \nDra.
