Siemens UROSKOP Offers Complete Urinary Tract Imaging in a Single Scan

Malvern, Pa., July 19, 2010 – Siemens Healthcare announces FDA clearance for the UROSKOP® Omnia, its new multifunctional workstation for urology. The workstation’s new dynamic flat detector technology UROSKOP Omnia allows the urologist to cover the entire urinary tract – kidney, ureter, bladder (KUB) – with only one single exposure and in superb image quality. With its curved X-ray column, UROSKOP Omnia offers truly unrestricted patient access from all table sides. The integrated HD (high definition) VideoManager provides various interfaces. For example, HD endoscopy or ultrasound equipment can be connected easily to display images side-by-side with X-ray or fluoroscopy.

With the new UROSKOP Omnia, Siemens extends its product portfolio in the high-end market for X-ray-based urology tables. The system allows a variety of clinical applications, such as transurethral and percutaneous urological interventions, urologic diagnostics and even gastroenterological cases.

“With the new UROSKOP Omnia, you see more in one image,” said Gerhard Schmiedel, vice president, Special Systems, Siemens Healthcare. “The system comprises our finest components – from dynamic flat detector technology with a large field-of-view, an intelligent design, and an interface for comprehensive connectivity – combined to bring a whole new experience of urology and patient care.”
