Ischemic stroke treatment
Be ready to take on new challenges in ischemic stroke treatment with these innovative approaches
Demonstrated results in ischemic stroke treatment
39 cm
(15 in) lateral detector
of Azurion can be positioned close to the patient’s head while providing full brain coverage
88%
of users
believe they can have more focus on their patient - thanks to full tableside control with the touchscreen module [3]
75%
dose reduction in neuro DSA [2]
with ClarityIQ compared to a system without ClarityIQ. Its automatic motion compensation removes skull and motion artifacts, which is key when placing small devices at the base of the skull.

Azurion 7 B20/15 Image Guided Therapy System Biplane
High-quality neuro-specific lateral detector can be positioned close to the patient’s head while providing full brain coverage. Secure, fast lateral gantry parking allows seamless switch between 2D and 3D image acquisition. Frontal arc 135° position enables optimal head-end access to the patient.
SmartCT Soft Tissue Helical*
Improved neuro CT-like cone beam CT images (CBCT) to identify soft tissue changes in the angio suite. An advanced protocol with dual-axis acquisition trajectory and improved reconstruction software results in improved image appearance, compared to conventional CBCT acquisition techniques.
SmartCT Dual Phase Cerebral*
Offers acquisition of two consecutive contrast-enhanced CBCT scans of the brain, allowing identification of the vessel occlusion in the first phase and the presence of collateral vessels in the second phase.
SmartCT Dual Viewer*
Simultaneously visualize two 3D datasets of different sizes--acquired at different times during the procedure--and overlay them to create fusion images to support assessment and diagnosis without breaking sterility by using the touchscreen module or mouse and keyboard.
SmartCT 3D visualization and measurement solution
Simplifies 3D acquisition so any clinical user [4] can easily perform 3D imaging. 3D images are automatically displayed within seconds on the touchscreen module [5]. Visualize the full intricacies of complex malformations and also less radio-opaque flow diverters.
SmartCT Vaso
Allows visualization beyond the clot with peri-procedural imaging of the distal vessel aspects in ischemic stroke. By retrograde filling, vessel structures before and after the clot become visible. The SmartCT Vaso 3D Roadmap can be used to visualize clot retrieval devices.
“I always say to the young doctors: If you don’t see, then you don’t understand, and if you don’t understand, you cannot treat. And 3D is the key tool."
Professor Laurent Spelle,
Chef de Service at NEURI Bicêtre, Paris, France
"The ergonomy has reached a new level...I don't know a single system in the world which is as reliable in terms of repositioning and stability."

The results of the application of dose reduction techniques will vary depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. The interventional radiologist assisted by a physicist as necessary has to determine the appropriate settings for each specific clinical task.
