Siemens will showcase the Artis zee(R) family of interventional imaging systems. With Artis zee systems, users can see vessel edges more precisely, and ensure proper stent positioning within seconds. The family's future- forward design also supports emerging therapeutic treatments. In addition, the Artis zeego(R), which recently received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) marketing clearance, features a multi-axis C-arm that employs robotic technology to extend imaging capabilities through virtually unrestricted positioning.
Also on display will be the cardiovascular version of the ACUSON X300(TM), an all-purpose ultrasound system that provides compact, portable color Doppler solutions for adult, pediatric, OR, EP, and interventional cardiology applications.
Siemens will also showcase syngo(R) Dynamics for multi-modality diagnostic image management and the Soarian(R) Cardiology cardiovascular information system. With Soarian Cardiology and syngo Dynamics, Siemens advances its trendsetting strategy of delivering end-to-end IT, imaging and workflow solutions. In a clinical environment where images are critical to the care of a patient, physicians need all images and data accessible at one workstation and available via a longitudinal clinical repository. This solution helps enable the goal of a seamless, optimized workflow for the care of the cardiovascular patient.
Siemens Users Share Best Practices
At the 2008 ACC, Siemens has asked a number of customers to present short success stories to conference attendees about how Siemens technology has helped them "Bring a New Rhythm to Cardiology Workflow." Topics will range from reducing door-to-balloon time with the company's innovative X-ray imaging systems to reducing the time it takes to generate a cardiology report with the company's image and information management solutions. Speakers will be at the Siemens booth (#3006) throughout the day on Sunday March 30 and Monday March 31. A complete schedule will be posted in the Siemens booth.
Enhancing the Cardiology Spectrum
Siemens will also display its full spectrum of cardiovascular solutions, including:
