The aging population and value-based reimbursement have raised demand for minimally invasive procedures that enhance both patient care and cost efficiency. This calls for innovation in IR.
The Nexaris Angio-CT is the first hybrid suite with Instant Fusion that seamlessly integrates angio and CT images. Even wireless ultrasound images can be displayed side-by-side on the large display. Angio, CT and ultrasound images are available at a single glance. Now it’s easier than ever to perform challenging, multi-modality procedures, streamline workflows and advance therapy outcomes with the peace of mind every pioneer needs.
Nexaris Angio-CTAt the nexus of treatment innovation
Features & Benefits
Flexible room design
Two teams share one CT in multi-room configurations
Multi-room options let you share equipment between rooms, so that these can host a wider variety of disciplines. This may be more cost-efficient and can even improve ROI.
- Park the CT and angio when they're not in use for better access to the patient
- Patient-centric design means the system comes to the patient, not the other way round
- Flexible two-room configuration adapts to your clinical, operational and financial goals
Deep integration
Powered by a common coordinate system, CT and angiography images are now seamlessly integrated and instantly fused together. The stunning result is Instant Fusion - providing you with crystal clear overlays and road maps at your finger tips.
- Quick Switching facilitates combined ablations and embolization in one session on one table
- The Artis cockpit lets you see angio and CT images using one monitor, keyboard and mouse
- Wireless-ultrasound, angio and CT images can be shown side by side on the large display
Pioneering Possibilities
Explore new procedures, devices and pathways with peace of mind
- Treat bone metastasis in the pelvis or spine with ablation, bone cement and screw fixation
- For blunt poly trauma, locate bleeding with the CT and stabilize it under angio guidance
- Improved stroke workflow with CT diagnosis and angio-guided clot retrieval in one room
Assess treatment response and personalize treatment
- CT-perfusion may help assess intra-procedural therapy response for organs covering up to 16.7 cm
- TwinBeam Dual Energy delivers quantitative iodine maps to to assess iodine uptaking lesions
Clinical Use
"We wanted to increase capacity with the same space, the same staff and without additional overhead. Only three months after installing the combined angio-CT we went from 500 to 600 cases per month, increasing capacity by 20 %." 1
"Anyone who aims at exploring new clinical pathways in interventional radiology may consider combined CT and angiography." 1
"In the setting of blunt trauma, we can immediately diagnose internal bleeding with CT, allowing us to quickly stabilize the patient with angiography and transcatheter embolization – to potentially saves lives." 1
