Perfecting endovascular aortic repair with procedural intelligence
EVAR in the Hybrid OR
Our fixed C-arms with procedural intelligence have been designed to simplify endovascular treatment. They allow you to standardize vascular workflows for routine procedures and guide you through complex cases for excellent patient outcomes.
Increasing complexity of EVAR repair
Patient demand for complex EVAR procedures is rapidly increasing. Endovascular stent grafts are already the treatment of choice for up to 80% of aortic aneurysm cases in the U.S. today1. We offer a portfolio of Hybrid OR solutions that help standardize all of your workflows, enabling you to perform complex treatment on a routine basis.

A new approach to image quality and dose in minimally invasive interventions
OPTIQ
Constant image quality in support of ALARA2 dose
With increasing patient attenuation, the conventional detector-dose-driven exposure control leads to a reduction of image quality – even in the average patient thickness range between 20 – 30 cm.
Our newly developed exposure control OPTIQ uses a contrast-based technique, supported by intelligent, self-adjusting algorithms. It automatically considers SID, collimation settings, grid status, and patient thickness – and finds and applies the best suitable combination of the 5 radiation exposure parameters and the detector dose as an additional variable. This new exposure control constantly aims to achieve the requested contrast-to-noise ratio at the lowest possible dose, among Artis systems.
The basis for this complex functionality is a vast database containing 300 million entries. With every image acquisition, the system checks up to 15,000 possible parameter combinations with the goal to select the most dose-efficient one for a specific imaging situation.
