Norland utilizes exclusive dynamic ltration which

automatically adjusts the amount of x-ray based on

subject thickness. A benet of dynamic

ltration is that it delivers the lowest level of

radiation exposure to the operator and subject in

the market. The dynamic ltering process

automatically adjusts radiation output based on

regional thickness. Limbs are less thick than

trunks and will require less radiation. Trunks aretypically thicker resulting in higher radiation

dosage. Other scanners employ xed radiation

levels regardless of thickness producing detector

saturation (overestimation) or starvation (underestimation). The Norland

dynamic lters minimize radiation exposure while producing studies free of

detector saturation or starvation.
