Radiography vendor Shimadzu of Torrance, CA, will feature a new line of flat-panel digital cardiac angiography systems, as well as the company's radiography/fluoroscopy (R/F) offerings.
BRANSIST Safire is a new digital cardiac angiography system using a 9-inch direct conversion digital flat-panel detector. The system is available in both single and biplane configurations, and a 17-inch vascular system is scheduled to be added to the product line in 2007.
Also look for Shimadzu to highlight its Sonialvision Versa R/F table. The system is a universal positioner that covers applications from gastrointestinal exams to limited angiographic studies, and includes variable table height for patient loading and unloading.
Sonialvision Versa is available with a 12- or 16-inch image intensifier, or Shimadzu's Safire flat-panel digital detector. The system can be configured for bariatric studies with an optional patient table capable of support patients weighing up to 700 lb.
Shimadzu Medical Systems' conventional table R/F system has been redesigned as the Fluorospeed 300. This new system integrates a new generator with a large LCD console and an intelligent overhead tube mount, also with a large LCD display.
