h extends imaging capabilities through virtually unrestricted C-arm positioning. The ability to deliver 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. Furthermore, the Artis zeego can be parked compactly to give the clinical team easier access to the patient, making it ideal for 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.

Faster, More Effective Procedures

The entire Artis zee family of systems features an enhanced imaging chain -- spanning acquisition to processing and documentation -- that delivers sharply detailed images required for interventional procedures, enhances clarity in 2D imaging, and enables an array of 3D imaging applications to help enhance clinical decision-making.

"The interventional cardiologist now faces greater demands than ever as the number of minimally invasive procedures grows and the need to visualize fine vessels and small devices is increasingly critical," said Claus Grill, Vice President, Angiography, Cardiac, and X-ray Systems, Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. "Siemens developed the Artis zee portfolio of products to provide clinicians with excellent image quality, enabling them to diagnose and treat with greater speed, efficiency and precision, all the while improving patient outcomes and workflow."

From 2D to 4D: Imaging a moving structure, such as the heart, has always been a challenge. Now, with the Artis zee, outstanding image quality is provided from 2D fluoroscopy and 3D imaging and even a 4
