Interventional OncologyIncrease precision for better patient outcomes

To realize our vision of a world without fear of cancer, together with Varian, we are continually innovating personalized care. As the fourth pillar of cancer care, interventional oncology plays a significant role in shaping precision therapy. Along the patient pathway, our advanced solutions for minimally invasive therapies allow care to be organized around the medical condition of patients in order to deliver therapy outcomes that matter to them.

Embolization

Perform targeted embolization every time

To reduce the tumor burden of intermediate-stage tumors, achieve down-staging, and even treat selected early-stage tumors with curative intent, it’s key to precisely target the cancer nodules – while protecting the surrounding tissue to preserve organ function.

Our innovative imaging, planning, and guidance solutions combined with unique microspheres let you effectively assess tumor anatomy, deliver targeted embolization, and subsequently verify tumor coverage.

syngo Embolization Guidance

In treatment of liver tumors, syngo Embolization Guidance automatically detects a catheter that is positioned in a hepatic artery. It then automatically computes a vessel tree starting at the catheter position and comprising vessel branches that feed a user-defined lesion.*

Predefined color coding facilitates finding the optimal treatment position for each tumor nodule.

Clear visualization in super-selective procedures

Our contrast-based exposure control OPTIQ delivers optimal contrast at lowest achievable dose* – for excellent visibility of small vessels and devices in 2D imaging. OPTIQ includes Structure Scout, which tunes the X-ray spectrum to best fit the absorption characteristics of the device material used.

OPTIQ DSA is designed to improve visibility in DSA images by likewise enhancing sharpness and contrast without increasing noise.

_{* Within the possible ARTIS exposure parameters and given hardware configuration as well as status of SID, collimation, and grid.}

Simple and precise 3D imaging, everywhere

Generate 3D acquisitions with excellent spatial and soft tissue resolution whatever your clinical case. With 95°/s rotation speed, ARTIS icono systems can acquire syngo DynaCT images in just 2.5 seconds, which means fewer motion artifacts¹.

Simple and precise 3D imaging gives you confidence in procedure planning. Intra-procedural syngo DynaCT can also help reduce the risk of unwanted side effects such as non-target embolization.

ARTIS icono ceiling combines these benefits through the Omni Spin C-arm for a high level of flexibility during interventional procedures.

Ablation

Carry out ablations with high precicion

Ablative therapies require precise needle placement to successfully destroy tumors and prevent their recurrence. Our imaging equipment delivers the high-resolution images you need to confidently assess the tumor.

In the next step, our integrated imaging and ablation solutions support you with precise needle path planning, smart guidance, delivery of sufficient ablation zones, and subsequent verification of tumor destruction.
