Patent ID: 11931196
Assignee: RADUXTION, LLC
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 5:
6. A method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device and from a user device, subject data that comprises a weight of a subject and a height of the subject;
automatically determining, by the computing device, operating parameters, for an imaging device, configured to reduce radiation exposure based on:
a specific type of imaging procedure to be performed,
a target location of the subject, and
the subject data, wherein determining the operating parameters comprises determining an Equalizing Quotient (EQ), wherein the EQ is calculated by multiplying X by the weight of the subject, wherein X is between 1-10, preferably less than 4, and most preferably between 1-3 to obtain a product, and then dividing the product by the height of the subject, and wherein the operating parameters comprise one or more of:
peak kilovoltage,
tube current, or
exposure time; and

transmitting, by the computing device, the operating parameters to the imaging device; and
cause the imaging device to generate an image of the subject using the operating parameters by deactivating an automatic exposure control setting of the imaging device prior to generating the image.
