In the third segment Tim Lamb explains the benefits of SafeCT, an iterative image reconstruction add-on product that enhances low-dose protocols on your [CT scanner](https://www.atlantisworldwide.com/product_category/ct-scanners/).  Unsurpassed image quality, compatibility, scalability, performance and cost saving are some of the topics. 

- Unsurpassed image quality for CT images acquired with low-dose protocols.
- SafeCT is vendor neutral - it supports CT scanners and PACS systems of all vendors and models.
- SafeCT serves any number of CT scanners on a department network.
- No need to replace "older" CT scanners with new systems in order to obtain iterative reconstruction solutions.
- Priced at less than 50% of OEM iterative reconstruction solutions.

**Over 100,000 low-dose CT studies have been processed by SafeCT!**

In the November 2012 **Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR)**, Drs. John Johnson and Jon Robins of Imaging Healthcare Specialists (IHS) in San Diego stated: “…SafeCT has been successfully deployed at IHS, with a dramatic reduction in radiation dose while maintaining diagnostic image quality… we have concluded that the combination of smart CT protocols and SafeCT iterative reconstruction is a superior method of dose reduction… dose savings of up to 90% have been achieved in select patients.”

According to **ECRI Institute’s** August 2012 Health Devices article, “Optimizing CT Dose”: “SafeCT may offer a more affordable option for facilities looking to provide iterative image reconstruction for a large number of CT scanners, compared to upgrading individual scanners. We highly recommend considering this system for new and existing [CT systems ](http://www.atlantisworldwide.com/product_category/ct-scanners/)that do not already have iterative reconstruction."
