Artis Q
Floor-mounted system for interventional imaging
Imaging system
High-resolution digital imaging system with outstanding image quality due to real-time image processing
CLEAR
CLEAR optimizes image quality through real-time processing of the image data.
CLEARcontrol: The new histogram analysis provides a more homogeneous image impression by harmonizing over- and
underexposed areas of the image. This is done fully automatically, thus eliminating any further manual user corrections
through windowing.
CLEARview: Dose-dependent filtering of the image data efficiently suppresses image noise, enabling clear, sharp images,
even for low-dose acquisitions.
CLEARvessel: Every pixel is analyzed in real time, and vessel edges are shown in high contrast without adding noise to the
image.
CLEARmotion: Detection of fine structures and effective compensation of motion artifacts.
Fine moving structures, such as small vessels and guidewires, are detected in the image and motion artifacts are
suppressed efficiently. The visibility of small moving vessels and guidewires is improved significantly during fluoroscopy.
CLEARchoice: Allows users to customize the image quality to their preferences.
CLEARstent*: Uses a fully automatic process to improve the visibility of the deployed stent for cardiac interventions.

CAREmonitor
CAREmonitor shows the accumulated peak skin entrance dose according to the current projection in the form of
a fill indicator on the live monitor. Any change to the C-arm, table, SID, zoom, or collimator prompts the system to
automatically update the calculation.
CAREguard
CAREguard provides an effective way to control skin dose. Three reference air kerma threshold values can be defined.
If the accumulated reference air kerma exceeds a configured threshold, a warning sound is given and a pop-up displays on
the system.
CAREreport
CAREreport is a DICOM structured dose report; it contains all patient demographics, procedure, and dose information.
Using commercially available programs or in-house software, this information can be filtered for further processing, such
as dose analysis.
Low-dose syngo DynaCT* (included in syngo DynaCT option)
The low-dose syngo DynaCT provides 3D information during the treatment of very radiosensitive patients such as

CLEARstent Live supports frame rates up to 15 fps
Works even when the balloon is moved within the coronary vessel or contrast agent is injected, allowing precise stent
positioning relative to previously implanted stents and/or vessel anatomy, therefore facilitating complex procedures
Processed images are displayed side by side with original scene on assist monitor (when present, otherwise on reference

CLEARstent Live scenes are automatically saved to scene directory allowing for review of resulting DICOM images on any
DICOM viewer
IZ3D*
IZ3D offers automated detection and 3D analysis of single and bifurcated coronary arteries from 2D angiographic images.
Out-of-plane magnification and foreshortening errors are minimized by calculating true geometric shape in 3D space from

In stent planning mode, a virtual stent can be specified. This virtual stent is then displayed in the 3D image and
corresponding markers are overlaid onto live fluoro.
