 Radiation safety in medical imaging has become more important than ever. Lead aprons are widely used, but they do not completely block scatter radiation—the invisible exposure that accumulates over time and threatens healthcare staff.


To address this, MSLINEENG developed the CVP-2 radiation reduction filter, a solution designed for X-ray and fluoroscopy procedures. Yet clinicians often ask the same question: Does a scatter filter affect diagnostic image quality?



When the CVP-2 filter is placed in the X-ray beam path, a slight brightness reduction can be observed. This tonal shift occurs because the filter selectively blocks scatter radiation.


However, the key point is that diagnostic image quality remains uncompromised:


  • Bone structures stay sharp and clearly defined.
  • Soft tissue contrast remains visible and reliable.
  • Radiologists and technologists maintain full diagnostic confidence.


In short, while the image may look a little darker, scatter radiation reduction is achieved without affecting clinical interpretation.


Image Comparison: Without Filter vs With CVP-2 Filter

To prove this, phantom images were taken under identical conditions:

  • Without CVP-2 Filter – Standard imaging, but scatter radiation passes through.

  • With CVP-2 Filter – Slight tonal change, yet identical diagnostic clarity.






This comparison demonstrates how the CVP-2 radiation filter reduces scatter radiation exposure while preserving X-ray image quality.


The CVP-2 radiation reduction filter shows that radiation safety and diagnostic image quality can coexist.

While a slight tonal change may be visible, there is no diagnostic loss—only improved safety.

The CVP-2 filter is manufactured using ceramic technology developed in Korea, ensuring durability and consistency in radiation reduction performance. This advanced material allows the filter to block scatter radiation effectively while maintaining stable image quality for diagnostic use.

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...
