Maximizing coverage and positioning flexibility with MULTISPACE.F
MULTISPACE.F allows for additional examination positions. The stand rotation enables free positioning of the C-arm and table relative to one another, providing the flexibility and comfort in positioning whether the table is rotated to the right, to the left, or extended in the patient transfer position.

Ceiling-mounted system

Artis zee ceiling-mounted systems provide the highest positioning flexibility with the largest patient coverage. The C-arm can be conveniently positioned around the patient’s left-, right-, or head-side – and any angle in between. This enables optimum patient access. Siemens’ unique InFocus and IsoTilt maintain the projection angle during stand rotation and during table tilting. In addition, the system provides the uncompromised soft-tissue imaging of syngo DynaCT from the left-side to also cover the patient’s lower abdomen.

The Artis zee ceiling offers extended parking capabilities far away from the table, providing free access to the patient.

Biplane system

The Artis zee biplane system is combining high performance and positioning flexibility, it supports two isocentric imaging positions. This is made possible by a floor rotation point with motorized swivel from head-end to left-side. The result is optimum access to the patient’s head as well as extensive coverage from head to toe in biplane imaging mode.

The Artis zee biplane system is available with two small, with mixed or two large detectors.

Compact and rotating biplane detectors
The Artis zee biplane system provides fast, easy handling and streamlined workflow by combining compact and rotating detectors in both planes, including lateral detector rotation that tracks the table as it is tilted. The compact and rotating detectors enable virtually unrestricted patient access while offering outstanding angulation and exceptional coverage capabilities.

Positioning flexibility in single plane mode
The Artis zee C-arm can be easily moved from the imaging to the park position without interfering with the work of the anesthesiologist at the tableside. Additionally the system features MULTISPACE.F for further enhanced positioning of the C-arm relative to the table using stand rotation. System functions can be operated from the tableside with the user interface or via voice control, depending on your clinical needs.
