Abstract

A system and method to manage direction of an ionizing radiation toward an exposed subject is provided. The system can perform receiving a request from a customer to establish an internet connection to communicate between a remote office and the system directing the ionizing radiation toward the exposed subject; automatically communicating a status information and individual dose data associated with an event where direction of ionizing radiation that exceeds a threshold; automatically creating and communicating a report via the internet connection to the customer. The report can include an indication of the event where direction of ionizing radiation exceeds the threshold and a comparison of the individual radiation dose data and an individual status operation of system at time of the event relative to a benchmark defined by radiation dose data and status information acquired from a population of other systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter of the present application relates generally to ionizing radiation, such as x-rays, and, more particularly, to systems and methods for managing the directing of ionizing radiation doses toward irradiated subjects. Background technique [0002] Working with ionizing radiation, such as x-rays, is well known in the treatment or image acquisition of irradiated subjects. Areas of application of ionizing radiation are common in the medical field (eg, fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), x-ray, tissue ablation, etc.) and security screening (eg, airport baggage screening). For example, radiological image acquisition generally includes directing a stream of ionizing radiation on an irradiated object; and measuring the attenuation of the ionizing radiation transmitted through the irradiated object. [0003] One problem with the use of ionizing radiation includes the increased probability of injury or damage associated with radiation-induced...
