AXIOM Artis U

The little big one for universal angiography applications

2

The AXIOM Artis U has the power, strength and image quality of an angiographic suite with the footprint and maneuverability of a portable C-arm for a dedicated interventional room.

The system is intended to support a wide field of applications, e.g., angiographic interventions, cardiac interventions and GI procedures.

The AXIOM Artis U provides a state-of-the-art imaging system that can be configured from single exposure acquisition up to 30 f/s for cardiac applications. The imaging system provides exceptional image management to meet the needs of any IT depart-ment for seamless integration.

The AXIOM Artis concept is based on four main pillars:

• Easy handling• Outstanding image quality• Maximized radiation protection• Optimal networking

These four elements enable the user to optimize the clinical workflow in the field of cardiology, angiography, neuroangiography and various non-vascular procedures.

The flexible configuration of the system makes it possible to control the system either in the examination room or outside of the control room*.
