Faster X-ray workflow with SkyFlow Plus scatter correction algorithm for non-grid X-ray exams
SkyFlow Plus provides computationally efficient X-ray scatter correction tailored to your individual patient, based on a collection of Monte Carlo simulation results (scatter kernels). Monte Carlo simulation is a technique commonly used in machine learning, a core part of AI, to estimate the probability of outcomes given various inputs, uncertainties and system dynamics. SkyFlow Plus reduces the effect of scattered radiation for non-grid exams, allowing you to obtain DR (Digital Radiography) images with grid-like contrast while avoiding the time and effort of attaching and detaching a grid.
Smooth gridless workflow
While you must always decide whether to use a grid, now you can combine the ease of a gridless acquisition workflow with the contrast of a grid image. SkyFlow Plus digital scatter correction technology produces grid-like images without a grid by reducing the effect of scatter radiation. SkyFlow Plus is suitable for all examinations in free exposure.
Substantially faster workflow
In a summative usability study with samples of radiologists working with and without a grid, it was found that there was an average time saving of up to 34 seconds1 per exam without a grid.
Exceptional patient experience
SkyFlow Plus features fully automatic operation for all anatomies, so you can devote more attention to your patient. Since you may not need to prepare the detector with a grid, you can focus on your patient’s comfort and help shorten the exam time.

Enhance clinical confidence with the versatile ProxiDiagnost N90 digital radiography-fluoroscop
Obtain exceptional access to the patient with excellent image quality at a low dose. ProxiDiagnost N90 achieves the perfect balance between radiography and fluoroscopy for fast exams that enhance patient and staff satisfaction.
The dose-reduced images were acquired at 40% less dose in 39 of the 50 patients. Nevertheless, image scores with SkyFlow were clearly superior compared to reference dose images without SkyFlow.
