Utilization of Simulated Grid (SimGrid™) Technology for the Reduction of Ionizing Radiation Dose on X-ray Examination in Obese Patients

Completed

Conditions studied: Obesity, Morbid

In brief

The purpose of this research study is to learn if a new imaging processing technique called Simulated grid (SimGrid™) will help in getting better quality X-ray images in obese subjects. The GM85 digital radiography machine will be used to obtain X-ray images.
