Make AI-powered imaging and clear insights your standard during interventions – with OPTIQ AI.

During minimally invasive procedures, it is critical to have a clear view of anatomies and devices. Yet complex imaging tasks or challenging patient conditions often impact image quality.
OPTIQ AI delivers constant image quality¹ defined by CNR in support of the ALARA principle, independent of patient or C-arm angulation. On top, an AI-powered algorithm reduces image noise in real time across different 2D imaging modes.
As a result, overall image quality is improved², and the contrast of clinically relevant details is increased³, leading to greater confidence in assessing device and vessel details⁴.

Clinical use

Excellent device visibility at lowest reasonable achievable dose

Structure Scout enables optimization on specific materials, e.g., iron, tantalum, or platinum to save dose while maintaining excellent device visibility.⁸

Constant image quality¹ committed to the ALARA principle
OPTIQ AI uses big data to automatically optimize imaging parameters. The 5+1 exposure control adjusts voltage, current, filtration, focal spot, pulse width, and detector dose in real time – even during system movement – ensuring clear images at the lowest reasonable dose.

More confidence in assessing 2D images
OPTIQ AI features an AI-powered algorithm that automatically reduces image noise in real time across different 2D imaging modes and body regions – while better⁶ preserving structures such as devices⁷.

Material-specific imaging
Structure Scout enhances device visibility based on its material’s x-ray absorption, allowing to see what needs to be seen while keeping radiation dose as low as reasonably achievable.

More vessel contrast and enhanced device visibility
Overlay Ref boosts vessel contrast in the overlaid DSA reference image while maintaining device visibility in live fluoroscopy, supporting precise navigation throughout the procedure.

Reuse DSA scene
DSA Roadmap enables the use of any previously acquired DSA scene and automatically returns to the exact system position – with accuracy below 0.5 mm – potentially helping reduce dose and contrast while supporting precise device placement.

Clear visualization of small vessels
High-quality imaging is essential to visualize both treatable and delicate peripheral vessels. Our advanced DSA technology supports this with a three focal spots tube, 2K live imaging, up to five magnification formats, and real-time pixel shift in six dimensions.
