THE SOLUTION

ControlRad is developing innovative solutions that dramatically reduce the lifetime risk of radiation exposure from fixed and mobile C-arm procedures for patients and healthcare professionals, without compromising on image quality and workflow.

ControlRad uses two interfaces to its add-on solution to C-arms, an eye tracker and a tablet. The video highlights the eye tracker version.
