UNIQUE 2 image processing software
Increase contrast and reduce noise
UNIQUE 2 image processing software increases contrast and reduces noise and artifacts to improve visualization of subtle anatomic details. It delivers superb images through customized parameters and automatic presets that are tuned to the patient type (adult, child or infant, slim or obese) and the requirements of the examination. It harmonizes contrast levels, optimizing images in both heavily exposed and barely exposed areas. With gray scale adjustment, lesions become more conspicuous, even when located in areas that are classically hidden or obscured.
Demonstrated results dose reduction in clinical studies
Improved diagnostic image quality
UNIQUE 2 offers you extended flexibility to adjust image contrast. In pediatric hand images, UNIQUE 2 enhances contrast by up to 54.7%1. It also features a novel noise reduction algorithm. In abdominal areas, phantom measurements showed a noise reduction of up to 17.3%2. Specific anatomical structures can be selectively enhanced to increase detail visualization and support diagnostic confidence.
Fast, easy image adjustments
With a next generation interface and vastly improved image processing functions, image processing parameters can be individually tailored to the personal demands of each radiologist. All adjustments become instantly visible, in excellent quality, on the 2MP monitor. Once created, any custom-made parameter set is automatically applied in daily routine, speeding the exam.
Personalized control
UNIQUE 2 automatically indicates, with a green mark, those areas requiring contrast adjustment. However, you can manipulate this to suit your patient’s need. Using the ‘ranger’ tool, just point to a certain area or structure and place your own mark(s), thereby including it in the medical image processing.
UNIQUE 2 integrated with our premium Radiography 7300 C digital radiography system
Fast throughput and diagnostic confidence are not mutually exclusive. The versatile Philips Radiography 7300 C digital radiography system allows you to achieve both. You can comfortably see more patients per day6, reduce time-consuming retakes, and focus more closely on your patients. Smart Workflow, powerful AI-enabled productivity features, and automated examination technologies help assure rapid availability of high-quality digital images for more confident diagnoses.
