    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.

    Clinical experience

    Göttingen University Hospital, Germany

    • Watch the movie to learn about Artis Freestyle transducer in clinical use
    • Fast and easy sterile packing and highly flexible use
    • Automatic patient data transfer from Artis Q to Artis Freestyle

        “From the first procedures, we started to lower the fluoroscopy dose gradually and were surprised that we could actually go lower and lower – and the image quality was still good.”

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

        • Improved contrast and sharpness lead to better visualization of details, small vessels, devices, tissue, and bones at the same dose level1)
        • Separate processing of the device image leads to improved contrast and sharpness of devices in roadmap without affecting the vessel map1)
        • Applicable to live imaging with DR, DSA, card acquisition, fluoroscopy, and roadmap

            Real-time stent enhancement – with CLEARstent Live

            • Support of complex procedures
            • Real-time verification of stent positioning while moving the device
            • Potential to speed up procedures and to save contrast agent*
            * "This is the experience of individual users. Results may vary.”

              “With the Artis Q the low-contrast resolution has significantly increased and facilitates the detection of small bleedings.”

                The results and statements by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein were achieved in the customer's unique setting. Since there is no "typical" hospital and many variables exist (e.g. hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption), there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
