Features & Benefits

Visionary in performance

To see devices and anatomical structures even in challenging patients and angulations is one of the main goals in interventional imaging. Artis Q offers the technology you need for enhanced image quality, high contrast resolution even at steep angulations, and sharp images of moving objects – while reducing dose by up to 60% (GIGALIX compared to previous tube technology). Find out more about the technology inside Artis Q.

Improved contrast and sharpness at the same dose level – with CLEAR MAX

  • Improved contrast and sharpness lead tobetter visualization of details, small vessels,devices, tissue, and bones at the same doselevel1)
  • Separate processing of the device imageleads to improved contrast and sharpnessof devices in roadmap without affecting thevessel map1)
  • Applicable to live imaging with DR, DSA,card acquisition, fluoroscopy, and roadmap
