Orthoscan Tau 1515
The Orthoscan Tau 1515 builds on the Tau platform with a larger 12″ × 12″ live image and pulsed fluoroscopy to further enhance dose control.
The Orthoscan Tau 1515 builds on the Tau platform with a larger 12" × 12" live image and pulsed fluoroscopy to further enhance dose control. It combines improved articulation, an advanced touchscreen interface, and intelligent dose reduction with a lightweight, highly maneuverable frame and bright 24" monitor. Designed for both adult and pediatric extremity imaging, the Tau 1515 supports anatomical presets, bilateral backlit controls, and flexible storage and connectivity options. Pulsed and continuous modes allow tailoring of imaging to clinical needs while helping to optimize dose.
