Why NMS ?
A lifetime of radiation exposure, every single day
Surgical imaging still depends on ionizing radiation. The consequences are carried by patients and by every professional in the operating room.
Millions of procedures rely on X-ray fluoroscopy
Surgical guidance across the world still depends on ionizing radiation as its default imaging source.
Ionizing radiation harms everyone in the room
Patients, surgeons, nurses and operating room staff are all exposed, and the risk accumulates over a lifetime.
Heavy infrastructure and high costs
Fluoroscopy requires shielded rooms, radiation protection systems and expensive maintenance.
Safe alternatives simply do not exist
Low- and middle-income countries are the most exposed, with the fewest options available.
