The ARTIS icono biplane is an advanced angiography (vascular imaging) system in the modern world of medical imaging. Developed by Siemens Healthineers, this device is specifically designed for minimally invasive procedures (performed through small incisions) and makes complex vascular and cardiovascular interventions more precise and reliable.
One of the most important features of this system is its ability to acquire 2D and 3D images simultaneously using two different imaging planes (biplane). This allows the surgeon or interventional radiologist to instantly view the vascular network and organ structures from different angles, providing more effective guidance.
Another major strength of the ARTIS icono biplane is that it offers high-resolution, real-time imaging. Thanks to OPTIQ imaging technology, image quality is kept high while the radiation dose is reduced for both the patient and medical staff. Achieving this balance is one of the primary goals of modern angiography devices.
Clinical Application Areas
Its clinical application areas are highly extensive:
- Cardiovascular interventions: Cardiovascular procedures such as coronary angiography, balloon angioplasty, and stenting.
- Neurovascular interventions: Brain aneurysm treatment and acute stroke interventions.
- Peripheral vascular procedures
- Oncological interventions and many other diverse fields.
Key Advantages
This system is particularly preferred in hybrid operating room environments because it integrates seamlessly with other surgical equipment. It accelerates the clinical workflow through its ergonomic control panel and user-friendly interface. Furthermore, thanks to its advanced 3D imaging and positioning support, it increases the success rate in complex interventions.
