LessRay
Lessray is an image enhancement platform designed to take low-quality, low-dose images and improve them to look like conventional full-dose images.
Clinical benefits
Designed to reduce radiation
X-ray or fluoroscopic radiation has been identified as a potential cause for a host of medical problems. Lessray offers the physician and hospital system the opportunity to use significantly reduced radiation imaging in the O.R.1
With Lessray all O.R. personnel: the physician, scrub nurse, circulator, and the anesthesiologist, benefit from reduction in radiation emission associated with taking low-dose fluoroscopic images.
Surgeon Exposure
Physicians can exceed their lifetime occupational radiation limit within the first decade of their career.4
Nearly half of all fluoroscopic orthopedic procedures expose the physician to enough radiation to increase the risk of thyroid cancer.5
