Artis Q.zen - Visionary intervention - ultra-low dose

Features & Benefits

Visionary in performance

Artis Q.zen offers unparalleled performance with the new powerful GIGALIX X-ray tube for high contrast resolution at any angle and any patient size. The optimized X-ray pulse helps to reduce radiation by up to 60%.

GIGALIX X-ray tube – Focused power

Flat emitter technology for high contrast resolution even at steep angulations
Small square focal spots for excellent spatial resolution to see more details
CLEARpulse for sharp images and low dose

Visionary in precision

Precise guidance is needed for successful interventions. Artis Q.zen offers applications for cardiology, interventional radiology and image-guided surgery.

ClearStent Live – Real-time stent enhancement software

ClearStent Live allows a real-time verification of the stent positioning while moving the device, eliminating cardiac movement.

Support of complex procedures
Real-time verification of stent positioning while moving the device
Potential to speed up procedures and to save contrast agent

syngo DynaPBV Body – Evaluate perfusion for personalized therapy

syngo DynaPBV Body provides 3D functional imaging indicating the distribution of blood in tissue by means of color-coded cross-sectional blood volume maps and qualitative blood volume measurements.

Provides physiological information about lesions directly in the angio-suite
Supports endpoint determination during embolization
Potential to identify non-responders directly in the angio-suite

Visionary in sensitivity

Artis Q.zen inaugurates a new detector technology based on crystalline silicon that reduces electronic noise and allows imaging at ultra-low dose levels.

Crystalline silicon detector – High sensitivity for ultra-low dose imaging

Active matrix with on-pixel amplification increases the signal-to-electronic-noise ratio and enables ultra-low dose imaging
Ultra-low dose imaging reduces radiation for both patients and staff, especially in long-lasting procedures with fluoroscopy guidance
More coverage compared to small cardiology detectors

Clinical Use

^{Electrodes and electro-anatomical mapping catheters during an ablation procedure}
A new benchmark for ultra-low dose procedures in electrophysiology
Reducing electronical noise by a factor of three compared to conventional systems based on the crystalline silicon sensor technology of Artis Q.zen leads to fluoroscopy at ultra-low dose levels, i.e. below 20 nGy/frame.
Recent studies have shown that Artis Q.zen reduces patient dose (dose area product) for EP procedures by more than 60%. ^{1 2}
