X-ray Imaging

Caption

This blurred X-ray illustrates how movement can affect X-ray images and require that further images be taken. A new imaging approach that incorporates Xbox gaming technology alerts X-ray technicians to factors that could compromise image quality, thus cutting down on the number of X-rays needed and, consequently, patient exposure to radiation.
