The Artis zeego, which recently received FDA 510(k) clearance, offers breakthrough versatility, enhanced image quality and streamlined workflow across an array of clinical environments, from body and neurointerventional radiology suites to operating rooms and hybrid rooms. Additionally, Frost & Sullivan recently selected the Artis zeego as winner of the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Award at their Excellence in Medical Technologies Awards banquet.
The first two facilities in North America to receive the Artis zeego for research are St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston and the University of Virginia Health System.
The versatility of the Artis zee family is exemplified by the revolutionary new Artis zeego to extend imaging capabilities through virtually unrestricted C-arm positioning. The ability to support two non-concentric rotations supports advanced cross-sectional imaging, which is not achievable with traditional C-arm systems. The Artis zeego makes it possible for the position of the isocenter to be adjusted according to the procedural needs or the height of the physician, which is particularly beneficial to a physician during lengthy procedures while wearing a heavy lead-shielded apron. The adjustable isocenter also enables off-center rotational angiography for all areas of the body and supports advanced 3D imaging techniques, including cross-sectional imaging through Siemens' first-to-market syngo DynaCT.
Imaging Excellence Distinguishes Artis zee Family
The entire Artis zee family of systems features an enhanced imaging
chain -- spanning image acquisition to image processing and documentation
-- that delivers sharply detailed images required for interventional
procedures, enhances clarity in 2D imaging, and enables an array of 3D
imaging appl
