Siemens Healthineers debuts new fluoroscopy system with many high-end features at an economical price

Published on September 30, 2021

  • Luminos Impulse offers high efficiency and cost-effectiveness for digital fluoroscopy and radiography.
  • Seamless imaging chain, compelling product features enable high-end imaging
  • Patients profit from features for radiation dose reduction

Siemens Healthineers launches Luminos Impulse1, a fluoroscopy system with a new design and features shared by high-end fluoroscopy systems – including a seamless imaging chain, comprehensive dose optimization, cybersecurity features, and detector-sharing capabilities for radiography. The fully digital Luminos Impulse offers high-end features and superior imaging that haven’t been available at this economical price in the past. “Being able to offer such a compelling product in this price segment makes me really proud of what our team has achieved. We work diligently to bring high-end features to our ‘smaller’ systems while also maintaining their excellent image quality and clinical versatility. Customers can use Luminos Impulse for fluoroscopy and radiography with virtually no limitations,“ says Ronald Fröhlich, Head of Marketing X-ray Products at Siemens Healthineers.

Luminos Impulse is built for the needs of modern-day fluoroscopy and radiography. Thanks to the processing engine and noise reduction, users can enjoy high image quality and keep the radiation dose low. The economical price and the potential cost savings due to detector sharing with existing systems minimize the financial impact on budgets, while retaining a high clinical value.

Fluoroscopy enables the continuous dynamic observation of moving processes in the human body using pulsed X-rays.

The CLINITEST Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test is a point-of-care cassette test that does not require laboratory instruments or specialized lab personnel to administer, and it delivers results in only 15 minutes.
