AI-powered radiation reduction solution gains FDA clearance

Sanford, Florida-based Omega Medical Imaging announced that its new FluoroShield radiation reduction system has received FDA approval.

The AI-powered imaging solution reduces patients’ exposure to radiation and produces high-quality blended images to be used during interventional procedures. It can also be positioned manually, giving users more freedom than normal as they care for patients.

According to Omega Medical Imaging, this is the first solution of its kind to hit the market.

“FluoroShield is the only system in the world that provides an actual reduction in dose,” Brian Fleming, president of Omega Medical Imaging, said in a prepared statement. “The impact of this groundbreaking solution for patients and healthcare providers is substantial. I am very grateful to be a part of a team that pushes the envelope in the development of safer healthcare solutions.”
