Angiography involvement in integrated ultrasound system

In an intervention, for optimal treatment results, the doctor will try to complete some challenging biopsy and drainage operations, requires accurate image to boot.

The usual practice is to use digital subtraction angiography (DSA digital subtraction angiography,) machines multi-angle observation to determine needle positions, but it will make patients receive radiation dose multiplied, especially for growing period of women, it is difficult to accept.

To do this, the wise doctor who start thinking on drainage, abscesses and non-vascular and other cases more convenient, secure ultrasound-guided percutaneous coronary intervention.

But the ideal solution in practice met the nails — large ultrasonic equipment to promote and launch the examination room very inconvenient, and other departments of checking for conflicts is more trouble; round-trip transfer more upcoming surgery patients is not a good choice; whereas the use of portable ultrasonic, its image quality is always difficult to maintain. As a "total care" philosophy advocates of Philips medical, to effectively meet the clinical needs of highly respected clinical select, through innovative research and development, launched the angiography intervention rooms integrated ultrasonic system.

Integrated workflow for ultrasound system

The so-called integration ultrasound system, that is, the Philips CX50 ultrasound system high integration into flying lipuda flat panel integrating digital subtraction angiography machine Allura FD20 system.

Because all patient data can be automatically from Allura Xper FD intervention device directly to the CX50 system, eliminates re-entering data. In this case, even if the CX50 is placed in the aseptic area, or by Xper module in the console accessory control CX50 system. Ultrasound images can be transmitted to the suspended ceiling suspension of Flex Allura Vision XL display screen. It is learnt that the CX50 is switched on and complete the Setup only takes a few seconds, then the image can be displayed to the full location of the complex human engineering, and on the radiological images for easy comparison with screen. Thus, to intervene in the treatment of a physician, you can very easily get two ultrasonic, radiographic diagnosis mode image, let more confident of intervention operations.

As a result of the pure wave technology, digital broadband acoustic beam forming machine, real-time image composite, SonoCT XRES adaptability of image processing and other high-end technology to guarantee the precision of the CX50 image clarity.

This is essential for intervention, after all, if the physician cannot see the biopsy needle and Interventional ultrasound will be empty. Whereas intervention operation completes the image archive is also very easy, ultrasound images can be easily stored in the case of Interventional device archive, direct transfer to PACS, ensuring quick call late diagnosis and treatment.

Integrated clinical advantages of ultrasound system

In complex intervention operation, the use of ultrasound directly observed intervention needle, rather than radiation manner, to avoid the radiation exposure of the intervention, the patient and clinical workers are very useful.

The intervention process, the image may have been placed in Flex Vision XL display screen, this monitor's screen bigger, easier to observe on the anatomy of a more subtle part of imaging observation very favourable.

United States Florida Baptist Cardiovascular Research Institute is carrying out this work one of the oldest institutions, now they use the composite technology platform for a variety of past required a boot attempt CT intervention, including the biliary tree and Interventional treatment of the urinary system, as well as nephrostomy surgery, biopsy and various complex drainage, etc.

In addition to the above advantages, integrated ultrasonic system also provides significant economic and reputation gains.

Due to system integration eliminates tedious repetitive data entry, and can be directly transmitted to the ultrasound image, this will not only PACS reduce human errors, but also a huge time saver. Statistics show that patients take integration actions, approximately 15 min of time savings, such as the southern third of the hospital every day for 20 or so intervention operation volume, earnings on the printed page.

The general trend of composite Imaging

In the past, hospitals are "equipment," usually CT, DSA in radiology, ultrasound, ultrasound in patients to inter-branch kept running around, this would let people suffering.

In the "patient-centered" modern medical services, in order to cope with the developments and changes in the form of diagnosis and treatment, medical imaging and gradually began to be single modal Imaging to the composite image (Hybrid Imaging). MR, CT, ultrasound and ordinary radiation technology in the future will be more joint use to guide us to a new era of comprehensive treatment. New workflow, look forward to the full participation of everyone!
