Model 100H Swimmers / Lateral Hip Filter

This x-ray filter has two primary uses, the lateral hip and swimmers view for use with CR and DR and film. No positioning required, just move it in until it stops, they are already centered. Tech Proof with a stainless steel base custom fit for all x-ray machines (in- cluding portables). Also reduces radiation by filtering before it reaches the patient!

Swimmers Features:

• Image improvement with the use of the swimmers filter.
• This equalizing x-ray filter reduces overexposure to the cervical spine to produce a balanced density from C-1 to T-1 The model 100 H filter is slid into the collimator rails,opened, the CR collimated, then the filter is closed for exposure.

Lateral Hip Features:

• Application for lateral cervical spines with CR @ 72 inches to increase information on the lower cervical and upper thoracic, very often reducing the need for a swimmer view.
• The x-ray filter increases visual detail through additional coning (see photo). The lead coning rails assure proper coning at 40 inches. It creates a border one inch wide on the length of the image.

To ensure the correct filter for your collimator, you must provide the vertical and horizontal lengths of the rails on the collimator that the filter will slide into. The vertical dimension is the distance between the rails (including the depth of the slot in the rail). The horizontal dimension is the length of the rails. Please use the Measuring Instructions link below to help determine these dimensions.
