Azurion 7 M20 with FlexArm image-guided therapy system
This ceiling-mounted system provides unlimited imaging flexibility and exceptional positioning freedom. Seamlessly control all relevant applications from a single touch screen at table side, to help make fast, informed decisions while remaining in the sterile field. Philips Azurion with FlexArm works around you so you can advance your suite performance and deliver superior care.
Total table side control and acquisition guidance with SmartCT
Easily control advanced 3D acquisition, visualization and measurements at table side to improve lab flexibility and efficiency. Segmentation tasks are semi-automated and made available on the touch screen to speed up your 3D image analysis. SmartCT is designed to make 3D imaging accessible to clinical users. SmartCT offers step by step guidance throughout the whole 3D image acquisition leaving you no room for guess work and empowering you to deliver superior care to your patients.
Automatic Feeder Detection with EmboGuide
Automatic Feeder Detection solution can significantly improve feeding artery detection. EmboGuide supports you in maximizing the efficacy of your TACE procedures as it potentially enhances your sensitivity, reduces false positives and maximizes inter-reader agreement1. EmboGuide also provides efficient, workflow-based live 3D guidance with automatic feeder detection1.

Automatic Feeder Detection with EmboGuide
Adoption of chemo/radioembolization techniques such as TACE and SIRT drives the need for standardization and efficiency. Case after case, you must reliably and consistently locate the tumor(s), identify all feeder vessels, and plan/execute the appropriate interventional approach. Our Automatic Feeder Detection solution can significantly improve feeding artery detection compared to using Cone Beam CT alone. EmboGuide supports you in maximizing the efficacy of your TACE procedures as it potentially enhances your sensitivity, reduces false positives and maximizes inter-reader agreement.1

Tumor embolization
Effective guidance in treatment and decision making
The ability to detect and differentiate hepatic nodules and identify tiny feeder vessels is critical to determining proper therapy. Navigating to the region of interest by reaching all feeders, while remaining selective to the lesion, increases the opportunity for success. Confirmation of treatment endpoint and treatment success while the patient is still on the table boosts clinical outcome confidence.
SmartCT Soft Tissue
SmartCT Soft Tissue offers a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) acquisition technique augmented with step-by-step guidance, advanced 3D visualization and measurement tools; all accessible on the touch screen module at table side.
Whole liver coverage with CBCT Open
By opening the arc to the left of the patient, CBCT Open allows off center positioning of the patient table and therefore better centering of the FOV3-4. It significantly increases image coverage to help visualize tumors on the periphery of the liver.4
Optimizing artery and tumor visualization with CBCT Dual
CBCT Dual enables 3D acquisition of an arterial phase to visualize vascular structures and a post-arterial (delayed phase) to visualize accumulation of contrast medium, in a single automatic step.5
Image fusion with Dual View
Dual View allows simultaneous visualization of two CBCT datasets. Both arterial and delayed phase can be displayed next to each other or in a single fused overlay view.
Post embolization 3D imaging with CBCT
A post embolization 3D acquisition allows you to visualize the targeted deposition of embolic material, such as Liopidol or radiopaque beads, in the tumor.5
Pre-and Post-embolization 3D image fusion with Dual View
Dual View allows simultaneous visualization of pre-embolization arterial phase 3D image and the post embolization image to assess treatment endpoint.
