Siemens Artis Zeego Brings Flexibility To Angiography

Angiography (vascular imaging) uses X-ray technology and contrast media for spatial visualization of blood vessels. The new Artis zeego angiography system of Siemens Healthcare introduces unprecedented flexibility in catheter labs and operating rooms. The industrial robot technology integrated in Artis zeego allows the physician to move the C-arm to almost any position around the patient. This makes it easier than ever before to visualize internal organs from various sides, if - for example - tumors or vessel diseases have to be diagnosed. The University Clinic in Munich will be the first hospital worldwide to use the new Siemens angiography system for patient care.

Artis zeego is the latest highlight of Artis zee. This is the new name of the Siemens system family for interventional radiology and cardiology. The systems are available in biplane, ceiling-mounted, floor-mounted, and multi-functional configurations. In cardiology, Artis zee can also be equipped with the magnetic navigation system from Stereotaxis.
