Safer Dental Imaging for Patients and Clinicians: Meet the DTG Filter

-

 Dental X-rays are among the most common imaging procedures worldwide. From routine check-ups to orthodontic planning and implant treatment, patients—especially children and adolescents—often undergo multiple X-ray exposures throughout their lives. While each exposure may seem minimal, the cumulative effect is something we cannot ignore.


In many clinics, patients are protected with a thyroid collar or a lead apron. These are important and effective, but they primarily shield against direct beams. Scatter radiation, which spreads into the surrounding environment, remains a hidden risk that standard protective gear alone cannot fully address.


This is where the DTG Filter comes in. Specifically designed for dental X-ray units, the DTG filter reduces unnecessary scatter radiation while maintaining high-quality diagnostic images. It offers:

  • Improved safety for patients, particularly children who may require repeated imaging.

  • Peace of mind for dental professionals working close to X-ray sources every day.

  • Easy installation on existing equipment, making radiation safety more accessible.



Dental X-rays may be routine, but safety should never be taken for granted. With the DTG filter, MSLINEENG provides an extra layer of protection—helping dental clinics worldwide create a safer environment for both patients and clinicians.

Radiation has played a vital role in modern medicine for many years, but it doesn't come without dangers. Healthcare professionals—doctors, nurses, and radiologic staff—are exposed to scatter radiation daily while treating patients. At MSLINEENG, we identified this issue early and proudly became the first in the world to introduce an X-ray radiation reduction filter for hospitals, raising the bar for safety in medical settings. Our Product Line CVP-2: C-arm Radiation Reduction Filter Specially engineered for C-arm X-ray machines, the CVP-2 is trusted by more than 1,000 hospitals across the country. Featuring patented filter technology, it reduces harmful scatter radiation while preserving image clarity, offering vital protection for surgeons and medical teams during demanding procedures. DTG: Dental Radiation Reduction Filter Dental professionals often work extremely close to X-ray sources. The DTG filter is designed specifically for dental imaging, significantly cutting down on...

Reducing Radiation Exposure in C-Arm Procedures with the CVP-2 Filter

  Every day in operating rooms around the world, doctors and staff stand beside patients, focusing only on one thing: helping them heal. But while patients are usually exposed to radiation just once during a procedure, the healthcare team is there all day, every day — and that means radiation quietly builds up inside their bodies over time. C-arm is an essential imaging tool for modern surgery. But with it comes an invisible risk. The Hidden Risks of C-Arm Radiation Think about this: A single CT scan can expose a patient to over 13 times the annual radiation dose limit allowed for the general public. If a physician’s hand is exposed to C-arm X-rays for just 12 minutes and 30 seconds , it can already reach the yearly limit set for extremities. Radiation doesn’t leave immediate marks. There are no burns, no pain signals. It accumulates silently — and health problems may appear years later. That’s why reducing exposure isn’t optional. It’s essential. Why Lead Aprons A...

Introducing GXR: The General Radiography Filter

 GXR : Radiation Reduction for the World’s Most Widely Used X-ray Systems Introduction X-ray imaging is the most common diagnostic tool in modern medicine. From small clinics to large hospitals, general radiography systems are everywhere. Their accessibility and speed make them essential, but their wide use also means repeated exposure for both patients and medical staff. While advanced imaging such as CT or MRI is used less frequently, general X-ray scans happen daily across the globe. This is why reducing unnecessary radiation from standard X-ray machines is an urgent, universal challenge. The Hidden Risk in General Radiography General X-rays may seem less harmful than CT, but their frequency results in high cumulative doses. Medical staff, radiographers, and assistants are exposed repeatedly while working close to these systems. Scatter radiation—X-rays that deflect off the patient’s body—travels back into the room, quietly increasing exposure risks for everyone n...
