Advanced Mobile Imaging System Enables Physicians at [FACILITY NAME] to Visualize Even the Tiniest Blood Vessels During Surgery

ARCADIS Avantic Obtains Detailed Images Directly in the Operating Room

DATELINE – [FACILITY NAME] announces that it has installed a leading-edge mobile imaging system that generates high-quality images directly in the operating room during surgical procedures. The ARCADIS® Avantic from Siemens Medical Solutions is a powerful imaging c-arm system that provides surgeons a larger field of view, making surgical interventions more precise. The ARCADIS Avantic is designed to meet the advanced imaging requirements of a wide range of clinical applications, such as trauma and spine surgery, general surgery and urology, orthopaedic surgery and pain management, gastroenterology, and vascular surgery. This means that the system can be shared by different departments and disciplines within the hospital. The ARCADIS Avantic utilizes an X-ray system called a C-arm that intensifies the X-ray image to allow physicians to view the anatomy more easily, while performing scans at lower does of radiation. [QUOTE FROM FACILITY PHYSICIAN OR ADMINISTRATOR] Equipped with Siemens syngo® software platform, The ARCADIS Avantic allows surgery staff to access clinical patient information online at the touch of a button. This includes images obtained from other examinations, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Its intuitive user interface helps lead to increased efficiency in the operating room. The system delivers the highest standard of image quality and is equipped with a fully digital image matrix that functions from image acquisition to image processing and documentation. In addition, ARCADIS Avantic offers increased imaging power, so that a wide variety of applications can be performed at minimum radiation dose, while examining difficult-to-image patients and areas, such as the pelvis or the dense region between the pelvis and the spine. The system’s compact size and lightweight design offer maximum maneuverability, even in busy operating rooms.
