The company highlighted the low weight, maneuverability, and touch-gesture interface of the C-arm. Cios Flow also includes a function called SpotAdapt that helps users visualize areas of challenging anatomy by allowing them to tap an area on a preview image of the user interface; the technique automatically optimizes parameters such as brightness and contrast, according to the company.
