New Angiography Solution for Hybrid OR Procedures

It also enables high quality two-dimensional (2D) imaging, as well as high definition (HD) cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) and multimodality three-dimensional (3D) fusion imaging.

The Magnus OR table system can be used for advanced imaging applications, in addition to surgical procedures, thanks to a versatile "floating" function that enables quick and precise movements during catheter-based interventions. It can also take advantage of several interchangeable tabletops for a gamut of clinical applications, ranging from advanced 360-degree 3D diagnostic imaging to specialized surgical procedures. The combination of the two systems allows hospitals to optimize the use of their Hybrid OR.

“Hybrid ORs have become the standard of care at medical centers throughout the United States as these multidisciplinary and multipurpose rooms have been shown to lead to improved clinical outcomes for cardiothoracic and other patients,” said Mark Rider, VP of marketing for the Americas at Maquet. “With the U.S. launch of this new integrated solution that combines our MAGNUS OR table system, the centerpiece of a Hybrid OR, with GE's angiography system, hospitals across the country will be able to provide the best care for their patients who require a variety of multidisciplinary surgical interventions.”

In a Hybrid OR, advanced diagnostic imaging equipment is used to create a multidisciplinary space that allows different specialties to work together in order to diagnose and treat patients in the same location, as well as perform both open and minimally invasive procedures. The advanced room design allows for a patient to transition from an interventional to a surgical procedure without needing to be transported to another setting, allowing for reduced time in the OR setting and improved clinical outcome for patients.
