D image application, where the time phases of the heartbeat are taken into account. In 2D fluoroscopy, features like advanced temporal filtration use an intelligent motion detection algorithm. This technology separates moving from non-moving structures in real time to improve the clarity of therapeutic instruments. Intelligent noise reduction enables high image quality during live fluoroscopy and acquisition by significantly reducing quantum noise without an increase in radiation exposure dose.

Stent and vessel visualization: Artis zee enables clinicians to see vessel edges more precisely than ever before, providing for improved stent positioning within seconds, which can be particularly difficult in obese patients. Stents and other interventional devices are becoming less radio- opaque, making visualization under fluoroscopy more difficult. Siemens IC stent, an automatic processing algorithm, is a tool that enhances stent visualization by combining multiple images and compensating for motion between images through a registration process. The fully automated process uses the gold markers of the deployment balloon as reference points. Images are automatically shifted and rotated to match the gold markers summed together to form a final image with a clearer visibility of the stent.

Additionally, Siemens syngo(R) DynaCT Cardiac, widens the 3D spectrum to 4D. By using rotational angiography and special reconstruction algorithms, syngo DynaCT Cardiac creates CT-like images of the beating heart right in the electrophysiology lab. During acquisition, it can use an ECG-triggered mode to acquire only images from the same heart phase. With this feature it is now possible to reconstruct 4D images of the heart and its vessels during the procedure.

Enhanced workflow: The Artis zee systems are designed to streamline workflows and create efficiencies to help keep pace with increased interventional volume. Intuitive, menu-driven workflows streamline such proced
