ARTIS icono for Cardiovascular Care
An icon of innovation
The ARTIS icono family is designed to help you realize the potential for growth by enabling you to offer a wide procedure mix in a single interventional cardiology suite. Its state-of-the-art technology will keep you at the top of your game for years to come. This is what we mean by an icon of innovation.
Discover our ARTIS icono family for cardiovascular care.
ARTIS icono − Cardiac angiography equipment for image-guided minimally invasive therapy
ARTIS icono biplane makes different disciplines feel at home in the same interventional suite: When interventional cardiologists share the lab with neuroradiologists, you can be sure that ARTIS icono biplane easily adapts to their different needs. All it takes is one press of a button, and the lateral plane changes from a radiological to a cardiological preferred setting in just 90 seconds.
Case Flows – Improved usability and standardization
Case Flows are specially designed to streamline existing procedures and give you more confidence when adding new, complex treatments to your treatment portfolio. Case Flows are dedicated sequences of system settings for each diagnostic and interventional step along a given treatment path. At every procedural step, Case Flows automatically adjust the system settings to match your preferences and the situational needs – everything from imaging parameters, C-arm position, SID and system position to zoom factors, filter/collimation and display layout.
OPTIQ – Constant image quality with significant dose reductions
OPTIQ enables constant image quality (based on CNR) in support of the ALARA1 dose principle, regardless of procedure, patient size, or C-arm angulation. It uses a contrast-driven technique based on automatic parametrization and intelligent, self-adjusting algorithms.
With OPTIQ, image quality flavor can be adjusted according to your personal image preferences.
Material-specific imaging with StructureScout
With new devices and new materials appearing all the time, image-guided therapy is facing new challenges. StructureScout adjusts the X-ray spectrum to material-specific acquisition parameters, allowing for excellent visibility for any structure or device at significantly lower dose.

Clinical use
Explore how ARTIS icono supports you in your daily work
ARTIS icono is the system for you, whether you treat arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, or structural heart disease patients. It meets both your clinical and your business challenges in a fast-paced healthcare world.
Real-time remote monitoring and proactive service to maximize uptime
ARTIS icono comes with the Guardian Program from Siemens Healthineers. An additional follow-the-sun, 24-hour real-time remote system monitoring service can detect and resolve errors before malfunctions occur – or at least trigger an instant response. Intelligent components lead to a stable service-cost situation due to higher reliability.
Stay competitive: Train and retain your workforce
Faster workflows due to procedural intelligence with minimal user interaction: Case Flows are a sequence of system settings to match diagnostic steps and the treatment path. They can be used for standardization across multiple ARTIS icono labs. Furthermore, online training with PEPconnect helps team members get up to speed fast with ARTIS icono.
1 ALARA = As Low As Reasonably Achievable
2 Cases which can be assessed with vFFR are stable coronary syndrome and non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome

The CNR was calculated, considering the contrast-reducing (blurring) effects of the tube focus and object motion. Patient equivalent thickness refers to the physical thickness along the x-ray path excluding air cavities of a body having chemical element composition identical to the human body. Image quality is characterized in this context by the contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNR).
