New Ceiling-Mounted C-Arm Angiography System Launched

The C-arm can be used in a lateral position, both over and under the table providing more flexibility and safety for clinicians in a sterile Operating Room (OR) environment. This feature also enables the system to be used for complex procedures such as long needle biopsies, vertebroplasty, or aspirations. Another feature of the system is support for low contrast imaging from either side of the patient, or from the head-end. The 270-degree C-arm rotation feature also ensures easy head-end access.

The Infinix-i Sky + uses automated X-Ray dose management tools that can be selected by the user to minimize radiation exposure. One of these tools, the Dose Tracking System, can estimate peak skin dose exposure in real-time.

Bill Newsom, director, X-ray Vascular Business Unit at Toshiba, said, “The truth is, Toshiba has always provided customers with a great angiography system, but this new double sliding C-arm offers premium flexibility to support clinicians in performing a wide range of procedures. The Infinix-i Sky + allows clinicians to move the C-arm around the patient, rather than the other way around, and the development of 3D imaging anywhere demonstrates Toshiba’s understanding of our customers’ clinical needs for high quality imaging that doesn’t sacrifice efficiency or safety.”
