ARTIS iconoAn icon of innovation

Jan Gralla, MD, and Pasquale Mordasini, MD, talk about their experiences in neurointerventions with the ARTIS icono.

At the Inselspital Bern, Switzerland, the department of Neuroradiology covers a broad range of procedures and is working on new workflows for stroke treatment.

“The fast 3D is certainly an important advantage of the new system.”

The basal part of the brain is always surrounded by massive bony structures which cause artifacts in 3D imaging.

To overcome artifacts from bony structures, a new double oblique trajectory for image acquisition was developed: syngo DynaCT Sine Spin is raising the bar in consistent 3D image quality for whole brain imaging from cranium to basal.

For the first time, syngo DynaCT Multiphase makes it possible to assess the collateral vessels with time-resolved syngo DynaCT, depicting 10 different time points within a period of 60 seconds.

• Seamless integration of collateral vessel imaging into the interventional suite
• Sounder decisions based on time-resolved CTA information
• Potential time savings by skipping the transfer to CT¹⁾

Dierk Vorwerk, MD, talks about his new ARTIS icono and the capabilities in a multidisciplinary setting from head to toe.

At the General Hospital in Ingolstadt, Germany, Neuroradiology and Interventional Radiology are successfully sharing the angio suite for more than 5 years.

“Most important for the new system is the length of coverage – from head to toe.”

Florian Wolf, MD, talks about his experiences with the ARTIS icono biplane in Interventional Radiology.

At the General Hospital in Vienna, Austria, Interventional Radiologists perform a broad spectrum of procedures including mechanical thrombectomy for acute stroke treatment.

“If you have a biplane system for IR you will definitely use it!”

Bernhard Meyer, MD, explains the new image chain OPTIQ and the advantages of material specific imaging.

At Hannover Medical School, Germany, the department of Interventional Radiology is equipped with an ARTIS pheno system which implements two generations of exposure control and enables them to compare the impact of the new exposure control OPTIQ on image quality and dose against the previous system generation (Artis Q) right in the same clinical setup.

“OPTIQ is a real step forward – applied radiation protection with even better image quality.”

Jan Gralla, MD, and Pasquale Mordasini, MD, talk about their experiences in neurointerventions with the ARTIS icono.

At the Inselspital Bern, Switzerland, the department of Neuroradiology covers a broad range of procedures and is working on new workflows for stroke treatment.

“The fast 3D is certainly an important advantage of the new system.”
