Compensating Filter

A versatile filter for your X-Rays – X-Rays of the shoulder, pelvis or spine are a challenge in your daily routine. Too much radiation is absorbed by the surrounding, differently thick parts of the body. The targeted area is overexposed and the radiography shows a nearly black patch instead. You can avoid this when using compensating filters, which eliminate the interfering soft rays. You achieve an absorption and thus an improved X-Ray quality. At the same time exposure to radiation on the patients‘ side is reduced. Depending on the X-Ray apparatus, the transparent base plates are made of impact-resistant polycarbon in varios sizes.
